In Support of the Great North Air Ambulance Service

We're delighted to have Great North Air Ambulance Service as our 2027 Charity of the Year.

Fast, flat, and packed with atmosphere, the Middlesbrough Half Marathon returns for its third year and continues to establish itself as one of the North East’s standout road races. Presented by Science in Sport and in support of the Great North Air Ambulance Service, this fully road-closed event brings big-race energy right into the heart of the town.

Starting in Centre Square, outside the Town Hall and MIMA gallery, the route heads through Albert Park before sweeping past the Riverside Stadium, home of Middlesbrough FC. Runners then loop around the historic docks before returning to Centre Square for a powerful city-centre finish in front of cheering crowds.

With its smooth, PB-friendly profile and vibrant atmosphere, this race suits first-timers looking for a memorable debut as well as experienced runners chasing a fast time.

With RunThrough, you can expect a lively event village and clear guidance from our on-course team. After your run, enjoy food, drink and free finish-line goodies from our partners.

You can add an official event t-shirt to your entry at checkout for more than 30% off. Produced in partnership with RT Kit, it features the event logo on the chest and is the perfect keepsake to celebrate your race. Offering the t-shirt as an optional extra helps us keep entry costs lower for runners who prefer not to include merchandise.

Once you enter, you’ll receive a confirmation email straight away, and full event information will be sent to you closer to race day.

We look forward to seeing you on the start line.
