Chichester Half Marathon
The Chichester Half Marathon returns in its 15th year in partnership with More Leisure. The part closed road route starts in the heart of Chichester and passes city landmarks such as Chichester Cathedral, the Market Cross and sections of the ancient Roman Walls before moving onto trails across the South Downs.
The course climbs to The Trundle, an Iron Age hill fort and the highest point on the route, which provides wide views across Chichester, Goodwood and the south coast. The route then descends and follows Centurion Way for a largely downhill return into the city.
Race distances include:
- 21K Half Marathon (elevation gain +231m)
- 12K Medium Route (elevation gain +76m)
- Inclusive Mile
Event services listed for participants include chip timing, water stations, on-course first aid, course marshals, event photography, a finisher medal and a certificate. The route is fully signed on race day.
The event location is Chichester College, Westgate Fields, Chichester PO19 1SB. Various car parking options are available nearby, including the college and town centre car parks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
