Run Falmouth is a half marathon held from Race HQ at the Princess Pavilion, 41 Melvill Road, Falmouth TR11 4AR. The single loop course covers 13.1 Miles / 21.1 Kilometres and passes through Falmouth and the nearby village of Mawnan Smith, taking in views of Gyllyngvase, Swanpool and Maenporth beaches. The event is the fifth race in the Cornwall Grand Prix Road Racing Series.
Entries are limited to 750 places. Online registration closes at midday on Wednesday 12th March 2026 or when the event reaches capacity. There are no entries on the day. The first 750 entrants are guaranteed an event medal, and entrants must collect their race number on the day; race numbers must not be folded, cut or mutilated.
The event uses chip timing and placings are awarded using gun to chip time. Timing chips are worn on the ankle and must be returned at the finish. For safety and series rules, personal audio devices such as MP3 players are banned. Dogs, wheelchairs, wheeled carriages and cycles are not permitted, and competitors cannot be accompanied or followed on the course.
There is no official baggage storage; bags may be left at the Pavilion at the owner’s risk. Toilets are available at Race HQ; there are no changing rooms or showers. Food and drink can be purchased at nearby Gylly Beach Café and Castle Beach Café. Parking is limited; pay and display is available at the Dell and Maritime car parks, both about a ten minute walk from Race HQ, and some on road parking exists near Gylly Beach Café. Do not park on Cliff Road.
The event relies on volunteers for tasks such as course marshals, handing out race numbers and pack down. Run Falmouth has a charity partnership with Cornwall Hospice Care and donates £2 from every entry fee to that charity; participants may also fundraise via JustGiving.
