Event overview
The Plymouth Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile, fully paved loop starting and finishing on the Plymouth Hoe Promenade, taking runners through the city center, the Barbican, and the scenic Saltram Estate. While featuring long flat sections, the route is gently undulating with approximately 205m of elevation gain, including a notable climb near mile 7 and a challenging finish. It is considered beginner-friendly due to strong community support and a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere.
