From 5K to the marathon
After one distance in particular? Alongside this general calendar we keep a separate half marathon calendar, a marathon calendar and a trail running calendar for the United Kingdom. Every race page shows the distances on offer, the start location and a link to the official entry.
The British season peaks in spring and autumn: the city marathons and big half marathons fill March, April, May, September and October, while summer brings evening 5Ks and winter belongs to cross country.
