Run 4 Wales says it is 'disappointed that this has happened at one of its events and understands and apologises unreservedly to those impacted.'
Newport Marathon organisers have apologised after it was found the course of this year's race was too long.
The course is one of the most popular on the Welsh running calendar, partly down to its flat terrain leading it to being named among the fastest marathons in the world. "This issue has been taken very seriously and we have been having an ongoing dialogue with the Course Measurer/Association of UK Course Measurers .
"For this reason, we have been working with London Marathon Events who have agreed that times will be amended for those applying for a Good for Age entry at the TCS London Marathon, should the athlete have been affected in gaining a place.
