RUNNewport Sprint Relay Success - 20.07.25

-

We hosted our first inaugural Sprint Relay on Thursday 17th July at the Newport Riverfront. The sun shone and so did our runners!


The atmosphere was electric, all runners ran fast and hard on the 1 mile course, and the team spirit and support was epic!

RUNNewport had 2 teams of runners who brought their fast feet to the relay, with speed and team spirit. We’re really proud of you!


Well done to all the teams who took part and to our amazing volunteers who helped to make it happen and a night to remember. 

We had 3 category winners on the night, with The Running Social taking 1st place in the men’s team, Caerleon Runners (Blister Sisters) won for the ladies team, and LL Wellness (Duck Duck Goose) took the top spot for the mixed teams.

Here’s what some of our participants said about the 1 mile Sprint Relay event…

Fab event, we will be back! – Caerleon Runners

It was a cracking night! – Stuart Leslie

Great event, very well organised, and such a good atmosphere, thank you! – Dora Huszar

After the event, we hosted a charity cake sale and raised £226.18 for St David's Hospice Care, and celebrated with some drinks at the local Hortons Lounge on the Riverfront. 


It was a spectacular night bringing the running community and competition together. 

Location: Newport NP20 2BP, UK
