The Liverpool Half Marathon and 10 Miler is Merseyside’s biggest road running event, attracting thousands of athletes each spring. The race starts and finishes at the iconic Pier Head, set against the backdrop of Liverpool’s famous waterfront. The 13.1-mile (21.1 km) half marathon and 10-mile (16 km) course are predominantly flat, with just a short climb early on, making them ideal for fast times and marathon build-up training. Runners pass through Princes Road and the leafy avenues of Sefton Park, before joining the waterfront promenade for a four-mile return along the River Mersey, finishing by the Albert Dock and the Museum of Liverpool. Chip timing, well-placed water stations, and enthusiastic local support ensure a professional, welcoming race day.
