About the race
Lyme Half Marathon is a trail race held on 4 July 2027 at Lyme National Trust, Disley, Stockport SK12 2NR. The event uses the grounds of Lyme for both the start and the finish and covers a half marathon distance on mixed terrain. The route starts from Lyme Hall and follows the Gritstone Trail south, traverses Kerridge Ridge past the White Nancy landmark, continues to Bollington, and then follows the Macclesfield Canal for a flatter section back toward Lyme. The course is fully marked and marshalled and includes two well stocked aid stations.
Electronic timing and on-course photographers are provided. The event fee is £38 and includes parking and entry to the park and gardens for the day; parking is in the main car park. A bag drop tent will be available at the start area. Canicross entries are not accepted.
There is a four hour cut off for the half marathon. Hydration vests and handheld soft flasks are permitted. Runners are advised to carry clothing appropriate for changing weather and are strongly advised to download the GPX file of the route to a watch or mobile device because markings can be tampered with. Finishers receive a bespoke medal, or they may opt to have a tree planted instead through the Trees Not Tees scheme. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
