Inaugural Falkirk Half Marathon set for November

New event to ‘celebrate everything incredible about Falkirk’

Falkirk is set to get a new half marathon this winter and entries are now open.

The inaugural Falkirk Half Marathon, organised by RunAfan, will be held on Sunday, 20 November.

Starting and finishing at the Falkirk Stadium, the scenic and flat route will pass some of the city’s most famous landmarks, including Callendar House, the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel.

Entries to the closed-road event will be limited to 2000 (age 17+), and will be available online until 17 November – unless the event sells out first.

Organisers stress that they ‘pride themselves on being inclusive’ and encourage both seasoned athletes and first-timers to enter.

They have also confirmed that the route will be accurately measured and suitable for all abilities – or, in their words, ‘suited for fast running as well as being picturesque for those who prefer to run at a more leisurely pace’. 

The Falkirk Half Marathon will also feature a children’s race for runners over the age of three, details of which will be published shortly. 

Entries to the half-marathon include a finishers’ medal and goodie bag, on-course entertainment zones, chip-timing and access to the post-event finishers’ village.
