The DB Wood Newark Half Marathon

01/12/2024

2025 Announcement

To ensure the continued success and longevity of the Half Marathon, the committee of volunteers are handing over the organisation of the event to RunThrough.

We want to thank each and everyone in previous years who have organised, supported, sponsored, ran and volunteered, especially to the committee and the local running clubs.

Special thanks to DB Wood and other local businesses for the sponsorship and support in previous events. With out you it would not have been possible to hold the event.

Needless to say, its great news that the event is continuing for next year and we’re ensuring a seamless handover to Runthrough.

We will be keeping this page open until the new year when it will be closed off.

Please see the link below to enter for next year.
