Southwold Half Marathon
The Southwold Half Marathon is a multi-terrain race based in Southwold, with sections that pass through neighbouring Walberswick and start and finish on Southwold promenade. The course combines road, adopted road and hard wearing tracks; some parts may be uneven or narrow and entrants are advised to take care. The event is not affiliated with UK Athletics but follows their guidelines.
Entries include chip timing and a bespoke race medal. The standard race entry is listed at £40 plus a booking fee, and a T-shirt is available as an optional add-on for £15. Race numbers can be posted for an additional £1.20 or collected on the morning of the event. All entrants must be at least 17 years old. The race has a cut-off time of 3 hours and 30 minutes.
Charity entry places require a minimum fundraising commitment of £150 for EPIC Norfolk’s Dementia Campaign and the provision of one volunteer marshal. The entry fee is refunded once the fundraising target is met. Charity entries cannot be deferred or transferred to another runner; failure to meet the fundraising or volunteer requirement will result in removal from the event.
Official race car parking is at Old Hall Cafe & Walks, with a free shuttle bus to the start/finish and no additional parking fees at the official car park. Post-race provisions include donuts, cookies and water.
If the race is postponed, entries will be moved to the new date or may be transferred or completed virtually. If the race is cancelled and not postponed, entries will be deferred to next year or a refund may be requested before a deadline set in that circumstance. Transfers to another runner are available until midnight on 15/02/2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
