Lyme Half Marathon
The Lyme Half Marathon is a trail running event that returns in 2027 and starts and finishes within the grounds of Lyme National Trust in Disley, Stockport, Cheshire. The event is a half marathon distance on marked and marshalled trails.
The route follows the Gritstone Trail south from Lyme Hall, crosses varied terrain and continues along Kerridge Ridge past the White Nancy landmark to Bollington. The final section follows the Macclesfield Canal back toward Lyme, providing longer, flatter running near the finish and extended views across the surrounding area.
Event logistics and services include fully marked course navigation, marshals and volunteers on route, two well stocked aid stations, electronic timing, on course photographers, and a bespoke finisher medal. Runners may opt to have a tree planted instead of receiving a medal through the Trees Not Tees scheme. Entrance to the park and parking in the main car park are included in the event fee of £38.
Operational notes: canicross entries are not accepted. Hydration vests and handheld soft flasks are permitted. Runners are advised to carry clothing suitable for changing conditions and to download the GPX route file for navigation. A bag drop tent will be available and the half marathon has a four hour cut off. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
