Chichester Half Marathon
The Chichester Half Marathon is held in Chichester in partnership with More Leisure. The route is part closed road, begins in the city centre and runs past landmarks including Chichester Cathedral, the Market Cross and the ancient Roman Walls before reaching trails on the South Downs.
The course climbs to The Trundle, an Iron Age hill fort with wide views across Chichester, Goodwood and the south coast. The route then descends along Centurion Way for a downhill return into the city.
Distances include:
- 21k Half Marathon
- 12k route
- 7 mile option
- Inclusive Mile
Route information lists elevation gains of +231 m for the 21k and +76 m for the 12k. GPX route files are provided. The event offers chip timing, water stations, a finisher's metal medal, a certificate, finish line goodies, a fully signed route, first aid cover, course marshals and event photography.
The event operates a plastic free policy; participants are asked to bring a reusable cup or bottle for water stations.
