Darlington Half Marathon
The Darlington Half Marathon takes place on 6 December 2026 in Darlington town centre, with the course starting and finishing in the town centre near High Row. The organiser describes the route as a fast, flat and fully road closed half marathon of 13.1 miles that heads west out of town onto quiet rural roads, with long, flowing sections and smooth running surfaces. Elevation gain for the route is listed as 109 m.
On-course support includes marshals, clear distance markers and directional signage. Water stations are positioned around the course at approximately every 5k. The event village in the town centre offers baggage drop, toilets and food and drink options; toilets are also provided on the course. A group warm-up takes place before the start and runners are asked to self-seed behind pace boards.
Entries include a unique themed finisher medal, free race photos, chip-timed results and post-race goodies. Race packs are posted to entrants by 22 November or can be collected at registration. The standard entry price is listed at £40 plus a booking fee, and an optional event t-shirt is available as an extra. The cut-off time for the half marathon is three hours due to road closures.
