Let it Stow Half Marathon 2026

The Let it Stow Half Marathon is a winter trail half marathon held at Stowmarket Football Club in Suffolk. Participants run 13.1 miles (21.1 km) on a multi-terrain course through the Mid-Suffolk countryside. The race has a 3.5-hour cutoff and a minimum age of 17. This is a true trail race; trail shoes are essential, and participants should expect muddy conditions, road crossings, and manual timing. The course follows footpaths, woodland trails, meadows, and country lanes, marked with arrows and hi-vis tape. The race embraces a holiday theme, encouraging costumes, with Mince Pie Trophies for the top three male and female finishers. It is a cupless event, requiring runners to bring their own bottles for water refills at the start and finish. Race numbers are collected on race morning from registration. The clubhouse offers toilets and refreshments.
