AEPG Great Eastern Run

Sun 11th October 2026

A large group of runners, wearing race bibs and colorful athletic gear, starts a marathon on a tree-lined street. Spectators stand on both sides of the street, cheering and taking photos as the runners pass by. A man with gray hair and glasses is running in a race. He is wearing a red and white "Halmer Harriers" running vest and a race bib numbered 4399. He looks happy and energetic. Spectators are cheering behind barriers, and other runners are visible in the background. A group of marathon runners in race bibs joyfully raise their arms as they run down a sunny street. A cheering spectator on the right waves at them. Trees, houses, and blue sky are visible in the background.

Nice, flat course which takes you past the old town and cathedral near the end. Great local support and friendly marshals en route to keep spirits up. Only slight drawback was slight disorganisation at the start as not clearly communicated where the starting bays were (beyond the start banner!) but that aside it was a thoroughly enjoyable event.

Fantastic organisation of the whole event. Huge thanks to all involved. This was my first half marathon and I was so impressed with every aspect of the management.
