The half marathon is an undulating, tarmac route that starts and finishes in Malvern Park. The course follows New Road into Malvern Park, leaves via Widney Manor Road toward Knowle town centre, continues through Barston and Eastcote countryside sections with the steeper inclines and declines, then returns to Knowle and back to Malvern Park. Each kilometre is marked with distance flags and marshals are present along the route. Entries include a themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results and post-race goodies. An event village on site provides food and drink options and partner giveaways. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
