Not quite as much as Brighton's 568m in 2021. Any ideas yet as to why it happened?

I think hands up to them for rectifying it with London for GFA.These things happen especially with a new course.

From Newport Marathon Facebook page:-
"Unfortunately, the AUKCM has concluded that there was an error with their course measurement, resulting in the Marathon being 276m too long, which equates to 0.171 miles."
