The Burnham on Sea Half Marathon is a well established road race starting and finishing at BASC Sports Ground. The course follows a scenic loop through the Somerset countryside, passing through Brent Knoll, Lympsham and Berrow before returning to Burnham on Sea.

Runners take on a flat and fast 13.1 mile course with long stretches of country road that provide a good opportunity to settle into a consistent pace. Its minimal elevation and accurately measured route make the Burnham on Sea Half Marathon particularly suited to runners targeting a personal best.

Organised by Burnham on Sea Harriers, the race has been part of the local running calendar for decades and attracts runners of a wide range of abilities. Pacers, water stations and course marshals support runners along the route, with every finisher receiving a medal at the finish.
