Set against the backdrop of Bronte Country, nestled between Haworth and Hebden Bridge, returns this year's Sue Ryder Half Marathon on September 20, 2026. For those seeking an exhilarating challenge but with a shorter distance, there’s also a competitive 10k option.
The event has been well-received since its inaugural run last year, offering runners the chance to experience the stunning Yorkshire landscape while supporting a worthy cause. The men's half marathon course record stands at 1:39:20 set by Chin Yong, and the women’s record is held by Lynne Cutler with an impressive time of 2:33.07.
For nearly two decades, Sue Ryder has organized mountain bike rides in this region, drawing cyclists from far and wide for a challenging day out on the trails. This year, runners have been invited to join the festivities as well, adding another layer of competition to the event. Cyclists tackling the Charlotte route will be challenged by twice the distance covered by half marathon participants, offering an opportunity for bragging rights among athletes.
Upon crossing the finish line, all competitors are treated with a hearty slice of pie and a portion of steaming peas, along with a commemorative race memento to remember their achievement.
Participants can find detailed maps of both routes at [https://www.sueryder.org/bronteHM](https://www.sueryder.org/bronteHM). By signing up for the event, entrants agree to adhere to the terms and conditions outlined on Sue Ryder’s website.
