Summer 2020 will see Southport Half Marathon return for its 8th and biggest edition to date. We have increased the capacity and increased the entertainment and music on the traffic free route which includes Lord Street in Southport town centre and a start/finish area with live music and entertainment in Victoria Park.

The route is the only running event in the history of Southport to be permitted to close Lord Street to traffic and allow participants to run through the heart of this famous seaside resort with custom medals and tech T Shirts for all finishers.

Fully UKA Licensed with HM & 10k courses accurately measured and officially certified distances.

In addition to the adults race we will also have a 1-mile event for children. We are hoping to make it one of the biggest children’s races around. You must pre-register your child for the event via the main race entry link on this page whereupon you can select a family mile entry.

The family mile is free to enter if parent/guardian has entered the Half Marathon of 10k or £5 (to cover bib number printing, postage, packing, medal etc) if it’s just a kidz mile entry only.

Adults are able to run with their child(ren). Adults DO NOT need to pre-register for the 1-mile event as adults will not receive a race number or medal for the family mile, it’s just for kids (u16s).
