Torbay Half Marathon

About the Event

Run along the stunning English Riviera at the Torbay Half Marathon & 10k on Sunday, September 20, 2026, a premier South West running event that combines breathtaking coastal scenery with an electric, festival atmosphere. Choose your challenge on the fast, flat, and accurately measured courses: the classic 13.1-mile half marathon or the vibrant 10k, both offering panoramic sea views and incredible crowd support as you race through the picturesque Torbay seafront. As one of the region's most iconic and well-organized races, the event attracts thousands of participants and spectators, creating a powerful sense of community and shared achievement that carries you from start to finish. Whether you're a seasoned runner targeting a personal best on the swift, traffic-free roads or a newcomer seeking a memorable and beautifully scenic goal, Torbay delivers a world-class experience. With its significant charity fundraising impact and vibrant event village, your participation contributes to a much larger celebration of sport and community spirit on the stunning Devon coast. Secure your entry for a late-September Sunday where the only thing more inspiring than the coastal vistas is the collective energy of runners turning the seafront into a river of determination and joy.
