Southwold Half Marathon – Exercising People in Communities

Southwold Half Marathon
Next Race: 1st March 2026 (only charity places available)

A stunning Half Marathon in one of the most charming seaside locations in the UK.

Enjoy some of the most breath-taking views and surroundings as you run around Southwold and neighbouring Walberswick. The race starts and finishes on Southwold promenade.

Race Entry: £40 + booking fee. All entries include chip-timing and a bespoke race medal.

Charity Entry: The Terms & Conditions of the charity places are as follows:

You agree to fundraise a minimum of £150 for EPIC Norfolk’s Dementia Campaign (we will be in contact with details of how to fundraise for us).
You agree to provide 1 volunteer to marshal at the Southwold Half Marathon (volunteer roles will be allocated nearer the time – we’ll need the name and contact details of the volunteer at least a month before the race).
We will refund your entry fee once you have fundraised £150 for EPIC Norfolk.
If you fail to fundraise at least £150 and/or fail to provide a volunteer, your entry will be removed and you will not be able to take part on the day (this is so people don’t select a charity entry without the intentions of fundraising and/or providing a volunteer).
Charity Entries cannot be deferred to another event, nor transferred to another runner.

T-shirts: Available to purchase as an add-on for just £15, select your size when you enter.

All entrants must be at least 17 years or over.

This route is multi-terrain with a combination of road, adopted road and hard wearing tracks. Therefore, it is not affiliated with UK Athletics, although it will still follow their guidelines. Some of the route may be uneven and narrow in places, so be vigilant when running.

Cut-off time: This race will have a cut-off time of 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Race Car Parking: The official race car parking will be based as Old Hall Cafe & Walks. We will be providing a free shuttle bus service to and from the start/finish for racegoers and spectators. There will be no additional car parking fees at the official race car park.

With limited places, this event will sell out fast, so don't miss out being part of it.
