Worthing Half Marathon Entry, Date & Race Guide

The Worthing Half Marathon is a coastal road race held in the West Sussex seaside town of Worthing, featuring a flat route along the town’s promenade and surrounding roads. The event is known for its sea views, open running sections, and strong potential for fast half marathon times, making it popular with both experienced runners and those stepping up to the distance for the first time.

Part of the wider Worthing RUN-FEST weekend, the race combines a large-event atmosphere with the relaxed feel of a traditional seaside running event. The course takes runners along wide coastal roads with long uninterrupted stretches that can suit steady pacing and personal best attempts, while local support and spectator access help create an energetic race-day environment.

The Worthing Half Marathon attracts a broad mix of club runners, charity participants, and recreational runners from across the South East. With its accessible location, scenic coastline setting, and professionally organised race experience, the event has become an established fixture in the UK autumn half marathon calendar.
