Recurring Half Marathon races near Lincoln

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Lincoln Half Marathon

The Lincoln Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile road race in Lincoln, starting at 9:30 am from the Lincolnshire Showground, postcode LN2 2NA. Run For All organises the event, and the race is open to runners of all abilities, not just club or fast runners. The route leaves the showground and heads into the heart of Lincoln, passing Lincoln Castle and Lincoln Cathedral. The event supports Lincoln City Foundation, which works across Lincolnshire on physical, social, and mental wellbeing. Fundraisers can earn a free place by raising at least £100, receive a branded running top, and get two Lincoln City match tickets if they raise £250.

Leicester half marathon

Victoria Park provides a fitting start for runners: busy, practical, and with just enough anticipation before the road opens. The Leicester half marathon uniquely blends nature and the city center. The route crosses the Golden Mile, heads toward Watermead Country Park, and returns through lived-in streets. The event also has a community focus, with the organization supporting local health charities, including places for runners fundraising for bereavement support services. The course is largely flat and fast, but pace yourself. Runners will experience "fresh air" and "peaceful canals" before returning to the "urban buzz." New Walk presents the final challenge: a "magnificent historic pedestrian promenade" with a "gentle uphill false flat" to the finish. Expect numerous bands and roadside cheers, and a crowd whose enthusiasm remains strong when fatigue sets in.

Run Leicester Half Marathon & 10K

The Run Leicester Festival begins and ends in Victoria Park. This offers runners a city-centre race based in a park, rather than a point-to-point course. The event takes place in October and includes two options: a 10K or a half marathon, allowing participants to choose between a shorter city run and the full 13.1-mile distance. The course guides runners through Leicester’s central streets and parks before they return to Victoria Park. Mesothelioma UK utilizes the event as a fundraiser. Participants who join their team receive a fundraising pack, assistance from the charity’s fundraising staff, entry to a private Facebook group, and a branded vest or T-shirt for race day. Supporters can also purchase T-shirts and other fundraising items to wear while cheering.

AEPG Great Eastern Run

The AEPG Great Eastern Run begins and ends at Peterborough's Embankment, utilizing closed city centre roads. This mid-October road race centers on a half marathon, complemented by a 5K fun run and a wheelchair race. The half marathon covers the standard 21.0975 km, with the wheelchair race following the identical course. It is distinct from the Great Run series, despite a similar name. The course is designed to be flat and fast, suitable for both time-seeking runners and first-time distance participants. The race originated as a half marathon, paused for ten years, and then resumed with the half marathon as its primary focus. The relaunch attracted approximately 3,000 participants, with subsequent events drawing thousands more to Peterborough's streets, including substantial numbers in both the half marathon and fun run. Perkins Engines has sponsored the race since its restart. The event provides chip timing, pacers, water stations, medals, medical support, post-race refreshments, and training assistance. Notable local traditions include Barry Fry starting all three races on one occasion, and a specific edition commencing at 10:10:10 on 10/10/10.

Carsington Water 10K & Half Marathon October

The Carsington Water 10K & Half Marathon takes place in October at Carsington Water, offering both 10K and half marathon distances. The courses utilize rolling paths encircling the reservoir, meaning participants will encounter consistent elevation changes rather than a flat road race. The course is marked with kilometre signs and provides participants with unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape as they complete the circuit around the water. Volunteers are stationed along the route to support runners, and entry includes water, a themed medal, and post-race items.

Carsington Water Half Marathon & 10k October 2026

The Carsington Water Half Marathon & 10k is an October trail-running event held at Carsington Water, offering participants a choice between the half marathon or the 10k distance. The half marathon begins at 9:30 AM, with the 10k starting at 10:00 AM, structuring the day around two distinct races within the same reservoir-side location. The course follows undulating trail paths around Carsington Water, rather than a flat terrain. Kilometer markers are placed along the route, and event staff offer encouragement to runners en route to the finish. Entry includes water, post-race refreshments, and a themed medal.

Monsal Trail Half Marathon & 10K Autumn Saturday

The Monsal Trail October Half Marathon & 10k Weekend takes place in the Peak District on a disused Midland Railway line, with races offered over an October weekend. Runners can choose a half marathon or 10k, and they can race on one day or enter both days. The start is at the old Bakewell station site, and the surface is described as multi-terrain, with a route that is mostly flat but still has some undulating sections. The course follows the Monsal Trail through four railway tunnels and across Monsal Viaduct, a notable feature above the Derbyshire Dales. It suits experienced runners seeking an autumn training race, but the half marathon is also suitable for a first attempt at the distance. The weekend is a sell-out event, with a bespoke medal, free race photos, and trophies or prizes for the leading runners.

Worksop Halloween Half Marathon

The Worksop Halloween Half Marathon is an autumn half marathon organized by Worksop Harriers, set against the backdrop of Worksop’s proximity to Sherwood Forest. It is a long-standing local event, not just a simple road race, and its Halloween theme adds a festive atmosphere, with participants encouraged to wear costumes. The course winds through Sherwood Forest and Clumber Park on a familiar route. A running magazine recognized it as one of the UK’s top 10 half marathons. The blend of club runners, local participants, and costumed runners distinguishes it from a typical autumn half marathon.

Nottingham 1.5k, 5k, 10k & Semi-Marathon MoRun

The Nottingham MoRun takes place at Memorial Gardens Riverside on Victoria Embankment, featuring races of 1.5k, 5k, 10k, and a half marathon. As a November running event associated with Movember, the atmosphere is relaxed, encouraging participation from families, friends, and teams, often in costumes or headbands, with many running for a cause. The 1.5k Mini MoRun offers a chip-timed race for children, while adults can select from shorter runs up to a half marathon. The event benefits Movember, the charity focused on raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. Participants can contribute through donations during registration or by creating fundraising pages via Movember or JustGiving. All race distances are chip timed, providing immediate results. Finishers are awarded a MoRun medal and a MoRunning headband, with refreshments available at the finish line. Merchandise, including t-shirts and running vests, can be purchased for those seeking the complete MoRunner appearance.

Gainsborough 10k & Half Marathon November 2026

The Gainsborough 10k & Half Marathon is a November road-running event based at Sturgate Airfield near Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. The half marathon starts first in the morning, with the 10K setting off shortly after, so runners can choose between a shorter race and a full half marathon on the same day. Both races use road-closed, single-lap routes on flat roads, which makes the event straightforward for first-timers and useful for runners chasing an even pace. The route leaves the airfield for quiet country roads, then passes open farmland and village stretches before coming back to a village finish. Every kilometre is marked with distance flags, and marshals are posted around the course to guide runners and cheer them in. Entry includes chip timing, free race photos, post-race goodies, and a themed medal, so the setup feels practical without being overcomplicated.

About Half Marathon races in Lincoln

Lincoln Base Miles And Fast Lines

Lincoln hosts 54 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run close to home because footpaths, bridleways and permissive byways sit within a few minutes of the door. Lincoln Wellington AC gives the serious club feel, and the Lincoln Wellington AC 5K Series 2026 inc. Memory Mile, 3K and 1K keeps the sharp end honest. The City of Lincoln 10K brings 2500 runners to a busy start line, with familiar faces and a bit of apprehension. Ermine West and Riseholme Road look mild from a car, but those slight hills batter you on foot. The route gives you 20 km with 13 m of gain when you want easier Z2.

Locals ride bridleways that link through the county, with old Roman roads and droving trails making good base miles. Lincoln Cycling Club is the road racing club and the home of the legendary Sunday PainTrain. The Sunday PainTrain starts at 08:30 from South park roundabout, Lincoln, and runs 50 miles at 22+mph for groups A and B. Lincoln Gravel Imp gives the big mixed-surface day, with 220 km, 61% unpaved riding, 12% singletrack, and 1,415 m of ascent. The route goes eastwards to Lincoln on forest road, woodland singletrack, estate access roads, farm tracks, former railway line, and quiet country roads. The Lincolnshire Wolds sit around 30 minutes from Lincoln when you need climbs.

May to September suits riders best, because Lincoln Cycling Club puts Tuesday South Social rides on at 18:15 from Lincoln Green Hykeham Rd for 30 miles at 18-20mph. Summer also gives Thursday Chaingang rides from Scampton Viewpoint at 18:15, with 35 miles at 24mph until the clocks change. Runners use the same light for intervals, 5K prep, and steady loops like Fruit Loop or Muston and Back. Winter changes the rhythm rather than stopping it. Thursday Washy rides start at 18:45 from Washingborough Community Centre from the clocks change until Xmas, with A and B groups riding 20 miles at 18-22mph.
