More than just a race, the Eyam Half Marathon is a true community celebration. Established in 1993, this much-loved event has been running for over 30 years, raising vital funds for regional hospices, cancer charities and local community causes along the way.

Entirely volunteer-led, the race is a testament to the incredible spirit of Eyam, with over 10% of the village turning out to help each year. From marshals cheering at every corner to homemade cakes at the finish, the atmosphere is famously warm, welcoming, and unforgettable.

But don’t be fooled by the charm—this is a course that demands respect.

Whether you're chasing a PB or simply soaking in the scenery, Eyam offers a race day experience unlike any other.
