Blackpool Half Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential
A cool 50°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing. Moderate humidity at 71% is worth noting for effort level, especially in later miles.

Race Info
The Blackpool Half Marathon is a one-lap seafront course that runs along the Promenade roadway and the promenade walkways, closed to traffic for the event. It is flat and aimed at runners chasing a personal best. The race starts and finishes at the event village on the Middle Walkway of North Promenade, north of Blackpool North Pier, on the Sunday of festival weekend. Half marathon runners line up facing north, away from Blackpool Tower, and share the course with the marathon until the two split just after the 13-mile point.
