Course Information
New in 2018, the first Festival of Running Half Marathon was a great success. The Half Marathon features a multi-terrain harbourside course heading out from Poole Park, heading down Poole Quay, then a loop around Upton Country Park, before heading back down the quay, along Baiter Park to the finish line back in Poole Park. A fast, flat course is run on roads and compacted gravel paths with plenty of support along the way.
It will be fully marshalled with water stations and medical facilities along the route.
