Lyme Half Marathon

The Lyme Half Marathon is a trail race held on the grounds of Lyme National Trust, Disley, Stockport, SK12 2NR.

The route starts from Lyme Hall and follows the Gritstone Trail south across varied terrain.

The course is fully marked and marshalled and has two well stocked aid stations. Electronic timing and on-course photographers are provided.

Practical arrangements include bib collection from the event registration tent on the morning of the race and a bag drop tent at the start line. Parking is in the main car park and is covered by the entry fee; participants should follow signage and marshal instructions on arrival. Hydration vests and handheld soft flasks are permitted. Runners are advised to carry clothing appropriate for changing conditions and to download the GPX file of the route onto a watch or mobile device. Canicross entries are not accepted. The event applies a four hour cut off time. Runners may choose a bespoke finishers medal or opt to have a tree planted instead. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
