Here are the latest updates I could find about the Plymouth Half Marathon.
The Plymouth Half Marathon is scheduled for Sunday, May 17, 2026, with start and finish on Plymouth Hoe Promenade and a 13.1-mile route through Britain’s Ocean City. This aligns with the event’s traditional weekend as part of the Britain’s Ocean City Running Festival. [Sources indicate the date and course setup for 2026][1][4]
The event has consistently featured a scenic coastal route, including passes by Saltram Park grounds and the iconic Plymouth Hoe, with a finish back on the Hoe for a seaside finish experience. This is described across multiple sources describing the course and scenery for 2025 and 2026 editions.[3][4][1]
In 2025, Plymouth Half Marathon took place on May 11, with similar course landmarks and a 13.1-mile distance, and it serves as a cornerstone event within the city’s running weekend.[2][5]
Organisers have emphasized that the event is part of a broader running festival in Plymouth, attracting thousands of runners and offering a festive race weekend across the city.[4][3]
Charity and sponsorship aspects are common themes for the Plymouth Half, with entries sometimes linked to fundraising campaigns and community groups; for example, charities and local causes have been highlighted in prior years and related races.[6][3]

Would you like me to pull exact current race dates, registration deadlines, and any recent changes to the 2026 edition (e.g., course modifications, timing, or entry prices) from the event pages? I can compile a quick snapshot with links if you’d like.
