Hartlepool Half Marathon

Hartlepool Half Marathon

Hartlepool Half Marathon is a road race held at Hartlepool Marina. The event is a half marathon of 13.1 miles on a mostly flat coastal course with approximately 200 ft of elevation. Organisers are preparing a new and improved route for 2027.

Live chip timing is provided by Timing Up North. There is a strict three hour cut off for the course due to extensive road closures, equivalent to about 13 minute miles. The event is not canicross friendly.

At the finish, all finishers receive a metal medal, Wild Deer merchandise, and snacks and a drink. Free parking for participants is available at Hartlepool Marina and the Royal Navy Museum; the organiser notes public transport or walking as alternatives.

Entry price information is listed at GBP 30.00 for the half marathon. Participant feedback from earlier editions noted generally good organisation and scenic seafront views, with common suggestions to increase the number and staffing of water stations on hot days and to improve start-area management to reduce early congestion. Some participants also commented on tight turns and short out-and-back sections in parts of the route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
