Newark Half Marathon August 2026

Join us for the Newark Half Marathon on Sunday 16 August 2026

Take on a fast, road-closed Half Marathon with start on Hawton Road and a memorable finish in Sconce & Devon Park. The course heads out from Newark onto quiet country roads around Hawton and Cotham, creating the ideal setting to lock into pace and chase a PB. This historic race dates back to 1982 and continues to deliver a brilliant summer running experience.

You can now grab your Newark Half Marathon event t-shirt for more than 30% off when you buy it as part of your entry on checkout! With the event logo printed on the chest, it’s the perfect keepsake to celebrate your race and wear your achievement with pride!

We can do this with our partner RT Kit as part of a strategic decision to raise awareness about the quality of the product, whilst reducing the overall cost of events for those who would prefer not to have a t-shirt included.

Come and enjoy the day with us. Once you enter, you will receive a confirmation email. More information will be sent closer to the event. We can’t wait to see you on the start line.
