Event information

Following a successful first event, the Larking Gowen Ipswich Half Marathon is back again!

The race will start and finish at Portman Road Stadium - home to Ipswich Town FC.

You will see runners heading down Duke Street, through Ipswich Waterfront and then along Cliff Lane. Continuing around the River Orwell, you will head to Wherstead Road, back along Grafton Way before reaching the big finish at the stadium. 

We are so excited to bring Run For All to the county of Suffolk, and we already can’t wait to see thousands of you reach your goals while raising huge amounts of cash for such deserving charities within the local community and beyond.

See it as a new challenge, sign up for fun or run in a group, regardless of your goal or reason the crowds will be out in full force to cheer you on and the atmosphere will be terrific as the town of Ipswich comes alive for the day.

So if you’re looking for a new challenge in the town of Ipswich, what’s stopping you?

Sign up for this fantastic new event today!
