MORE than 3,000 runners braved the cold and drizzle as the Newport Half Marathon made a long overdue return to the city.

It was the first half-marathon in Newport since 2020, after Covid-19 restrictions forced last year’s run to be held virtually.

The atmosphere was electric throughout the event as family and friends cheers on the runners along the 13.1 mile course.
