Darlington Half Marathon & 8km

Join us for the 56th Darlington Half Marathon on Sunday, 16 March.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time half marathoner, the Darlington Half Marathon offers a unique and unforgettable experience.

With a supportive and inclusive atmosphere, you'll be surrounded by fellow runners who share your passion for fitness and challenge. And, with a range of amenities, including water stations, medical support, and a finish line celebration, you can focus on your run and enjoy the experience too. Plus, you'll be supporting Hannah's House - a team dedicated to serving families with children who experience life-limiting or complex conditions.

Brief course details: Both the Half & 8km course follows the Heritage Trail, which is an open, mostly gravel trail. It is a slight incline (approx. 400m incline) towards the Half and 8km turns, which means a lovely flowing downhill run to the finish line.

Although there will be water stations along the course, we do encourage participants to carry their own hydration. Koda electrolytes will be available at the start for pre-run hydration and to fill up personal hydration bottles.
