Newport Marathon
Newport Marathon is a flat marathon in Newport, USA, held each June. The organiser calls the course flat. It starts at Yaquina Bay State Park, runs north along the ocean, then follows the bay and estuary out and back. One short hill near mile 4 rises about 12 m. Oregon coast mornings in early June are cool and can be damp or windy, typically 9 to 17°C. Flat courses like Newport's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
