Retford Half Marathon
The Retford Half Marathon is organized by Retford A.C. and takes place in the Nottinghamshire town of Retford. The event offers a main distance and a shorter option for younger participants:
- 13.1 miles
- 2 km (Family Fun Run)
The main race follows a course set on closed roads. The event starts at the Retford Oaks Academy, located on Babworth Road. Registration for the half marathon is open to participants aged 17 and older, with an entry limit of 1,400 runners. The race serves as a preparation event for participants planning to run a full marathon in April.
Timing for the half marathon is handled electronically using bib chips. Results are made available shortly after the conclusion of the event. The location of Retford is characterized by its Georgian architecture, a large central square, and two local theatres.
The Family Fun Run is a separate event covering approximately 2 km. It is open to children of all ages, though participants under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult. The fun run begins shortly after the start of the main half marathon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
