The Robin Hood Half Marathon offers one of the most scenic and iconic city routes in the UK. This single-lap, 13.1-mile (21.1km) course takes runners on a journey through the rich history and beautiful green spaces of Nottingham.
Starting and finishing at the picturesque Victoria Embankment by the River Trent, the route features a mix of sights and scenery – from the majestic Nottingham Castle and the famous Robin Hood statue, to the peaceful paths of Wollaton Park, where you might spot deer roaming freely.
