The Newport Marathon and 10k will not be held this year and will move back to its normal slot in April next year, organisers Run 4 Wales said. The organisers said there were "operational risks" with an autumn slot.
Instead of being held on Sunday, October 23, the next Newport Marathon will now be held on Sunday, April 16, 2023. Before the pandemic, the run was traditionally held in the spring.
Runners who had a place in this year's race will will be able to transfer into the rescheduled event free of charge, avoiding any subsequent price rises. Refunds will also be offered. Those signed up have been emailed with details on how to proceed.
