2012 Half Marathon

The Perkins Great Eastern Run Half Marathon is fast becoming one of the main Half Marathons in the racing calender.  Many of our competitors have run in all of the last 6 years races.  Numbers have steadily grown since the race was reintroduced into the City 6 years ago.  The course is flat so ideal for a PB.  We are a BARR Gold Standard event and run under strict UKA rules.  

In 2012 we are one of five races that are part of the UKA Grand Prix Series which attracts prize money of over £55,000 to UK athletes.  For more information go to the Grand Prix tab on this website.

As well being a UKA Grand Prix race we are also a UK Championship race in 2012.  Full details are available under the UK Championship tab on this website

All those who complete the run will receive a unique medal, goodie bag and a RonHill techincal t-shirt with the 2012 PGER logo.  Water stations and full medical facilities are available along the course as well as at the finish area.  Free secure baggage storage is available together with free car parking for all competitors (see Parking Information for full details). 

The race starts at 10.30am with the warm up stage operating from 9am. in For the first time the race will start in the same area as the finish line, the Embankment, next to the River Nene and Key Theatre.  Family, friends and supporters are very welcome in the pre-start area before runners move down towards the race line.  See the Start and Finish area information tab for full details of all the facilities available at the venue.  By starting on the Embankment the course will take runners through the city centre and past the Norman Arch entrance to Peterborough Cathedral.
