Get ready for a special year – 2026 marks the 40th Lliswerry 8!
This iconic 8-mile race has been proudly hosted by Lliswerry Runners for four decades. Nicknamed the “flattest race on the planet”, the course takes you on a journey through the peaceful country lanes of Goldcliff and Nash Villages right on the edge of Newport.
Our legendary marshals — always armed with big smiles, loud cheers, and endless encouragement — will make sure you feel like a superstar from start to finish.
For some, the Lliswerry 8 is the perfect tune-up race before spring marathon season. For others, it’s a friendly first step into road racing on a course that’s welcoming, flat, and fun. Whether you’re chasing a PB, testing your fitness, or just soaking up the atmosphere, the Lliswerry 8 is for everyone.
This year’s 40th celebration promises to be extra special – come and be part of the story!
