Step Into the Heart of Race Day
This is where the buzz begins – and where celebrations come to life!
Whether you’re lacing up at the start line or crossing the finish with a smile, the Race Village is the ultimate hub of energy, entertainment, and community spirit.
Tuck into mouth-watering street food, grab a coffee or something cooler from our drinks and refreshment stalls, and explore a vibrant mix of charity stands, shopping stalls, and running gear vendors. There’s something for everyone – from supporters and families to seasoned runners.
Take a moment to unwind, refuel, and soak in the electric atmosphere. The Race Village isn’t just a place to pass through – it’s a key part of your Robin Hood Half Marathon experience.

Baggage Tent
Runners are able to leave their baggage within the Baggage Tent prior to the race beginning. It will be clearly signed. Please expect to queue to drop/collect your baggage during peak times.

Catering
A variety of catering units will be on site serving up something for everyone—from fresh hot paninis and classic fish & chips to juicy burgers, carvery options, sweet treats, and a full range of hot and cold drinks. Perfect for refuelling after the race or keeping supporters well-fed throughout the day.

Charity Partners
Our incredible Charity Partners will be based in the Race Village on event day – stop by their stands to learn more about the inspiring work they do and how you can support their causes. It's a great chance to connect, donate, or simply show your appreciation.

Entertainment
Expect an electric atmosphere on race day, with live bands positioned around the course to keep the energy high and the motivation flowing. And keep your eyes peeled—you might even spot Robin Hood himself making a special appearance!

Help Desk
The Help Desk is manned by Goldline Events staff to deal with any issues you might have on the day, including replacement race pack collection and Elite athlete queries. It is also the place to go if you have lost something or someone. So if you have any issues or questions just stop by and we will be glad to help.

Massage & Physio Services
Our official partner, Impact Physio, will be on hand with their expert massage team to support you both before and after your race. Whether you’re after a pre-race body MOT or a soothing post-run massage to ease tired legs, they’ve got you covered. While the service is free, charitable donations are warmly welcomed.

Medical
Medical services will be available at the finish line and at the end of the finish funnel. If you feel unwell or need assistance at any point, please alert a member of our team or head straight to the nearest medical point. Your safety is our priority.

RACE PACK COLLECTION
Unless you selected home delivery when you entered, your Race Pack—which includes your race number, luggage tag, and any pre-ordered merchandise—will be available for collection only. You can pick it up from the Race Bib Collection Tent.

MERCHANDISE
If you haven’t yet picked up an official race T-shirt, make sure to stop by the Merchandise Tent. You’ll find a full range of Robin Hood Half gear including men’s and women’s short- and long-sleeved T-shirts, snoods, tote bags, bib clips, and more. Perfect souvenirs to remember your race day!
