Lyme Half Marathon : Lyme National Trust, Disley
The event is a trail half marathon held within the grounds of Lyme National Trust in Disley, Stockport (SK12 2NR). The course leaves the Lyme Hall area, follows the Gritstone Trail south, climbs and runs along Kerridge Ridge past the White Nancy landmark, continues to Bollington and returns along the Macclesfield Canal toward Lyme. The route is fully marked and marshalled and includes two well stocked aid stations and electronic timing.
The event fee for the Half Marathon is £36 and includes parking and entry to the park and gardens for the day. Parking is in the main car park; attendees should follow signage and marshal instructions at the park entrance. A bag drop tent is available at the start area. Canicross entries are not accepted.
Hydration vests and handheld soft flasks are permitted. Runners are advised to carry clothing appropriate for changing conditions and to download the GPX file of the route for navigation, since course arrows can be tampered with. A short safety briefing will take place at the start line. There is a four hour cut-off for the half marathon. Finishers receive a bespoke medal; entrants may opt to have a tree planted instead of a medal through the Trees Not Tees scheme. On-course photographers and volunteer marshals are part of the event setup. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
