Northstowe Half Marathon

Sun 19th April 2026

A large group of runners begins a race, passing under a red and black inflatable arch with "START" written on it, on a grassy field with spectators in the background. Two smiling runners wearing medals pose together at a race finish line. They have race bibs with the names "Luke" and "Elia." Other participants and a large "FINISH" arch are visible in the background. Two people in athletic clothing and race bibs (302 and 303) enthusiastically pose for the camera with big smiles and expressive gestures. They are outdoors on a sunny day with a grassy field, a lake, and a blue sky with scattered clouds in the background. A woman in a high-visibility vest stands on a path in a grassy area under a blue sky with scattered clouds. She holds a pink sign that reads "tap HERE to POWER up" with stars and a red mushroom with white spots from the Mario series as decorations. A person in an inflatable dinosaur costume crosses the finish line at an outdoor race event, with cheering spectators on both sides and a "RACE DIRECTOR" in a yellow vest nearby. Two women wearing running gear and sunglasses smile as they hold up medals after a race. One is holding bananas and both have race bibs with “NORTHSTOWE” on them. The scene is outdoors on a sunny day. A group of runners participates in a race on a sunny day. The diverse group includes men and women of various ages, dressed in athletic gear and numbered bibs, running along a paved path surrounded by greenery. Some runners smile and wave at the camera. A smiling runner wearing sunglasses and a white cap sits on grass with hands on cheeks, displaying excitement. She wears a race bib labeled "ASHLEY-ANNE" and looks joyful after a race. Two smiling runners pose for a selfie, holding a large Instagram photo frame prop at an outdoor event. Both wear medals and athletic gear, with a green field and other participants visible in the background.

The race was well organised, although for spectators it wasn't great. This was my first half marathon and due to the hot weather I found it harder than I was expecting. I will do another one next year though!

Great little event, probably around 600 or so doing the half and then a healthy number doing the 5k. Lovely course, well marshalled, good water points. Great little event village and easy to pick numbers etc. Would recommend!
