Newark Half Marathon & Junior Race August 2027

Join us for the Newark Half Marathon on Sunday 15th August 2027!

In Support of Beaumond House Hospice

Take on a fast, road-closed Half Marathon through Newark and the surrounding Nottinghamshire countryside.

Starting on Hawton Road, the route heads out onto country roads around Hawton and Cotham before returning to Newark for a finish at Sconce & Devon Park. With a fast course and plenty of opportunity to settle into a strong rhythm, the Newark Half Marathon is an ideal choice for runners chasing a personal best.

The event welcomes runners of all abilities, whether you are taking on your first Half Marathon, targeting a new PB or returning to a race with a long history in the local running calendar.

Dating back to 1982, the Newark Half Marathon brings together decades of racing tradition with a well-organised and enjoyable modern race-day experience.

Expect clear course signage, supportive marshals and plenty of encouragement along the way as you take on 13.1 miles through Newark and its surrounding countryside.

Secure your place and join us for the Newark Half Marathon on Sunday 15th August 2027.
