The Marlow Half Marathon series comprises three road races in Marlow: the Half Marathon, The Frankenstein, and Marlow 7. All races commence simultaneously in the morning and take place in autumn, offering participants a selection between the half-marathon distance and shorter events held on the same race day.
Marlow Striders, the local running club, is the organizer, lending the event a club-run atmosphere instead of a corporate one. Funds raised have benefited Bucks Vision, Dementia Action Marlow, and Marlow Sports Club, connecting the races to sight-loss support, dementia awareness, and enhancements to the club’s facilities. Local businesses also support the event, including Runners Retreat in Marlow, Continuum Wealth, Alba Property Management, Horizon Rehabilitation, Shokz, and various Marlow-area sponsors.
