Stowmarket Half Marathon & 10K
Stowmarket Striders stage an annual chip timed half marathon and a 10K on rural Suffolk roads. The races use a mixture of B class roads and quiet single-track country lanes that pass through undulating scenic countryside. The course is not closed to traffic, so runners must keep left unless directed otherwise and take personal care at junctions.
Distances
- Half Marathon - open to entrants aged 17 years and older on race day.
- 10K - open to entrants aged 15 years and older on race day.
The event is organised under UKA rules and has certificates of course accuracy. There are regular water stations on the route and first aid medics available at the event. All finishers receive a memento. Prizes are awarded to the first three male and female finishers and to multiple veteran age categories.

Entry fees are set for online and on-the-day entry with a small discount for affiliated runners; transfers are permitted but the organiser’s general policy is non-refundable. Use of audio headphones during the race is prohibited for safety and may lead to disqualification. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
