Thousands of runners are expected to take to the streets of Lincoln on 5 October as the city prepares to host the eagerly anticipated Lincoln Half Marathon. Following the success of the City of Lincoln 10K earlier this year, this 13.1-mile race presents a fresh challenge for runners of all levels!

Starting and finishing at the Lincolnshire Showground, the course weaves through the heart of the city and surrounding areas, treating runners to a scenic tour past historic landmarks including Lincoln Cathedral and Lincoln Castle. The iconic backdrop is sure to inspire participants as they take on the route.

Organised by Run For All, the event is designed to be as inclusive as possible. Runners, joggers, walkers and wheelchair users are all encouraged to take part, with a strong focus on community spirit and accessibility.

The Lincoln Half Marathon is also a powerful platform for charity fundraising. As with all Run For All events, participants are encouraged to raise funds for causes close to their hearts or for one of the event’s official charity partners - helping ensure donations stay local and make a real impact.

Finishers will be rewarded with a goody bag, an exclusive medal, and have the chance to pre-order a t-shirt and customise their medal with an iTAB engraving.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, running for fun or fundraising for a cause you care about, the Lincoln Half Marathon offers a rewarding and memorable race-day experience.
