WITH Newport Half Marathon less than 24 hours away, young runners from the city had their chance to show their stuff this afternoon.
A children and family fun run for St David's Hospice Care saw costume-clad families run and walk the riverside path from the University of South Wales campus in the city centre.
Every runner received a medal for their efforts and turnout was good despite the cold.
First across the line was Sonny Collins, and first for the girls was Georgia McCloughlan.

Also running was Owen Fitzgerald and his family.
Owen was running in aid of Diabetes UK after having received a diagnosis recently.

His dad, Mike, will be running the main half marathon tomorrow in the city.
Emma, Simon, Fern and Evan Talbot took part dressed as the bat-family.
And Christopher, Jolene, Lois and Lawson Kerby were The Incredibles.
The Argus will be reporting live from the Newport Half Marathon tomorrow morning - for all the action, pop by the website.
