The Chichester Half Marathon is a part closed road race that starts in the centre of Chichester and runs out onto the trails of the South Downs. The route passes several city landmarks including Chichester Cathedral, the Market Cross and the Roman Walls before climbing to The Trundle, an Iron Age hill fort that offers panoramic views across Chichester, Goodwood and the south coast.

The event includes on course support such as chip timing, water stations, first aid cover, course marshals, event photography and a fully signed route.
