New Route Announced & Entry Open!
**1000 spots taken -250 spots left**
We're visiting more of our amazing Doncaster communities and we've created a route that has the potential to be one of the 'most supported' events ever!
For 2022 we're limited to just 1250 entries (don't worry we will have more in 2023 if you miss out!)
Finishing with the final KM on the world class Doncaster cycle track, (as used in the UCI Championships 2019).
Great for runners and even better for the spectators!
The Half Marathon, will of course, be visiting the fantastically supportive Rossington community once again and crossing the original start-line from 1982.
Creative supporters?
Our Club Doncaster friends are out and about at the local schools in the lead up to the big day :)
As the event goes through the heart of lots of our lovely communities, we're providing some great colouring sheets for our supporters to get creative with!
