The half marathon is a single loop circuit run entirely on road surface, undulating throughout, crossing the bridge in both directions and passing through the villages of Hessle and Barton on Humber. It is run strictly in accordance with British Athletic Federation, UKA and British Association of Road Races rules.

In 2009, the Humber Bridge Half Marathon raised over £37,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care and our other chosen charities. We believe, a further £40,000 was raised for other charities, by runners raising funds for their own, favourite causes.

This event, which celebrates its eleventh anniversary in 2010, is now established as one of the best organised, challenging runs in the north of England and provides full on-line entry with immediate confirmation and issue of running numbers and also features full electronic chip timing on a “gun to line” and “line to line” basis. Read more about the course, see the maps and then enter for this special event or come and enjoy the Fun Run. Either way, you can be assured of a challenge and an opportunity to raise funds for our charities or your own favourite charity, school, club or other deserving cause. For those unable, or unwilling, to enter on line, there is a facility to download an entry form, complete it and forward it by post to the address shown on the form. If you can enter on line, please do so, it will save us a lot of time and effort and give an instant acknowledgement of your entry. We look forward to seeing you on the day!

Until 1998, the Humber Bridge was the world’s longest single span suspension bridge, with a span of 1,410 metres. It provides spectacular views of the river and the Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Wolds on either bank of the river. It is still the longest bridge you can cross on foot or cycle - so it really is rather special!
