  • 28 Apr 2024
  • Plymouth Hoe Promenade
  • £18 - £38
  • £100 - £200

With three distances to conquer, you can run 5k, 10k or a half marathon through the beautiful streets of Britain’s Ocean City.

Challenge yourself and experience the thrill of crossing the finish line with thousands of fellow runners.  

Experience 

With three distances to choose from this is an ideal race for runners who are starting out or for those looking for their next challenge. There are a few climbs to look out for, though the route is mainly flat. 

What is the minimum age to enter? 

As of race day you must meet the following age thresholds to compete: 

  • Plymouth Half – 17 years of age and above 
  • Plymouth 10k – 15 years of age and above 
  • Plymouth 5k – 11 years of age and above 
What time is everything happening on Race Day?

What rewards do I get for finishing my race? 

Every runner who crosses the finish line will receive a finishers medal! Athletes running in the Plymouth Half and Plymouth 10k will also receive a goody bag and a finishers t-shirt. There is an option to opt for a tree to be planted in place of your finishers t-shirt. Please select this option when registering. 

You can also opt to have your medal engraved for a small additional fee for an extra special memento of your achievement! 

Why should I run the Plymouth Half Marathon for Cats Protection? 

As a charity, we rely solely on your generosity and kindness to enable us to go on caring for cats and kittens. Running for Cats Protection is the perfect way to challenge yourself and raise money to help cats in need. 

Just imagine that sense of achievement when you cross the finish line, knowing you’ve raised £200 towards giving cats a second chance at life. 

“I was over the moon when I found out I had got a charity place, and the advice provided on how to raise the funds was helpful.  

“I exceeded my target set for donations and I was very thankful to all the kind people who donated. I was nervous and excited but found the event had a great atmosphere and there was lots of fun going on.  

I felt very proud of myself for completing this and friends have said I have inspired them to do it! I feel like a real runner now and my medal reminds me every day of my achievement.”
