Indian Queens Half Marathon
The Indian Queens Half Marathon is a long-standing running event in Cornwall, now in its 44th year. Organized by local volunteers, the race serves as the ninth event in the Cornish Grand Prix series. The course covers a half marathon (21.1 km) distance and takes place primarily on open roads and trails.
The route features a total elevation gain of 140 metres. Approximately 5 miles of the course utilize the firm Goss Moor Trail, while the remainder consists of country lanes. The final 800 metres of the race are traffic-free, as the course leads to the finish line at the Indian Queens Recreation Ground. Participants should be aware that the trail sections can be uneven or muddy, and the course remains open to other users.
The event is open to runners aged 17 and older. It is a chip-timed race using gun-to-finish times for official results and awards. The race has a 3-hour cut-off time. Facilities at the race headquarters in the Indian Queens Recreation Ground include:
- Baggage storage
- Toilets at several nearby locations
- Changing facilities at Victory Hall
- Mobile catering
- Free parking at various designated industrial estates and schools nearby
Registration takes place at the youth club building on the morning of the event. All finishers receive a medal and a gender-specific technical shirt. The event operates under UK Athletics rules, and the use of any form of headphones is strictly prohibited and results in disqualification.
