Burnham-on-Sea Half Marathon

The Burnham-on-Sea Half Marathon is a September road race held at the BASC Sports Ground on Stoddens Road in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset. Organized by Burnham on Sea Harriers, it features a flat, fast course with a 9:45am start and a three-hour time limit. Road closures are in place around the start to ensure runner safety. The event also includes a one-mile fun run for children. The course begins and ends at the BASC Sports Ground, proceeding through Brent Knoll, Lympsham, and Berrow before returning to Burnham. Its flat terrain offers good personal-best potential, and pacers are typically available for target times between 1:30 and 2:15. The race usually sells out with approximately 400 participants and is part of the Somerset County AA Road Race Championships and the Somerset Road Race Championship series. It has a history spanning decades, with the first edition approximately forty years ago.
