Darlington Half Marathon - December 2026
The Darlington Half Marathon is a fully road-closed half marathon organised by RunThrough on 6 December 2026 in Darlington, United Kingdom. The event supports Darlington Mind and uses a mainly flat 13.1-mile route through town and surrounding countryside.
The course begins in the town centre, heads west out of Darlington onto quiet rural roads in County Durham with wide views and uninterrupted stretches, and returns for a finish on the High Street. The route description emphasises long flowing countryside miles followed by growing crowds and a town-centre atmosphere approaching the finish.
Entries include a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results and post race goodies. Each kilometre is marked with distance flags and marshals are present along the course to guide and cheer participants. An event village offers food and drink options and additional free items from partners.
The organiser highlights sustainability as a growing priority for its events. An event t-shirt is available to purchase at a discounted price through the organiser’s kit partner RT Kit. Practical details such as parking, spectator information and a full route map are provided by the organiser closer to the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
