The date of the 2025 Liverpool Half Marathon and 10 Miler road race is confirmed and the event will be held on Sunday 23rd March. The event sold out in 2024 and entries had to close almost a month before race day so please ensure that you enter early for the 2025 race.

The half marathon has become a firm favourite in the lead up to the London Marathon with many people using the race as a test of their progress as they head toward the tail end of their marathon training. Others use the 10 mile distance as a step up from regular 10K's and test themeselves over a longer distance so there are plenty of reasons to take part in this celebratory event.

Either way it's a great way to see the city!

2025 marks the 31st anniversary since the start of what was originally known as the Liverpool INTERNATIONAL Half Marathon back in 1994 and with the city now a firm visitor destination with people from across the world, the event equally certainly attracts runners from far and wide.

Entries will open at 09:01 on Sunday 17th March (2024) so you have plenty of time to get the date in your diary and sign up for what promises to be another fantastic day in Liverpool.
