The Liverpool Half Marathon will take place on Sunday, March 26. The route also includes the 8th annual BTR Liverpool 10 Mile Road Race.

Both races start at 9am from Pier Head Liverpool on the city’s world-famous waterfront alongside the iconic Three Graces – Royal Liver Building, Cunard Building, and Port Of Liverpool Building.

Runners will then wind their way through the city and onto Sefton Park, taking in the sights along the way. A grandstand finish will be set up along the waterfront under the gaze of Liverpool’s iconic Liver Birds.

Can I still enter the Liverpool Half Marathon?

Entries for the Liverpool Half Marathon have now closed so it is no longer possible to enter. This is due to the event reaching the entry limit of 5,000 set against the available medals and t-shirts.
