The Wales Half Marathon Entry, Date & Race Guide

The Wales Half Marathon is one of the standout races within the Long Course Weekend Wales, taking runners on a spectacular point-to-point route from historic Pembroke to the famous seaside finish in Tenby. Beginning with a lively procession through Pembroke’s streets, complete with a samba-band atmosphere, the race quickly settles into a scenic coastal journey featuring rolling roads, sea views and some challenging climbs along the Pembrokeshire coastline.

The course combines stunning scenery with a memorable event-day experience, finishing on the iconic red carpet in Tenby where large crowds create an electric atmosphere. Closed roads, well-supported aid stations and the wider festival environment help make it one of Wales’ most popular half marathons.

As part of the wider Long Course Weekend, runners share the occasion with thousands of athletes competing across swimming, cycling and running events, giving the race a unique festival feel that sets it apart from a traditional standalone half marathon.
