Details: The Ikano Robin Hood Marathon is a unique urban and rural road race.
A new course has been unveiled for 2012 and it’s flat, fast and scenic making it an ideal course for beginners as well as faster runners looking for a PB. Runners are also invited to model themselves on Robin Hood and Maid Marion for the day, and help race organisers set a record for the largest number of Robin Hoods running a half marathon!
Runners will venture along the tree-lined University Boulevard, around the beautiful Highfields Lake and through the University of Nottingham courtyard, one of the most iconic buildings in Nottingham.
The course boasts a magical view of the castle as runners descend on Castle Boulevard. See the Famous Trent Bridge cricket ground and Nottingham Forest Football Club as you wind along the river to the finish at Victoria Embankment.
The final 400m of the race sees a new finish – runners will take on the new flood defence cycle track looking down on the heritage race village, which will feature a feast of family entertainment.
Runners, spectators, families, friends and merry men can meet to celebrate race day and everyone’s achievements. Make it a race to remember by achieving that PB in what is now one of the fastest, flat half marathons around.
Cost: £27.75 for UKA affiliated club runners, £29.75 for all other runners, including a medal and a goody bag at the finish
