Walter Raleigh Round Half/Third Marathon

Walter Raleigh Round Half/Third Marathon takes place on 9 January 2027 in Yettington, in the UK. Two events share a 10:00 mass start: the Half Marathon Run/Walk, measured at 21.9 km, and the Third Marathon Run/Walk, at 13.7 km. Elevation gain has not been published, and both formats are open to runners and walkers alike.

That dual option shapes how the event can be used. A runner might treat it as a supported long run in the depths of winter, at an easy endurance pace rather than chasing a time, with the distance slightly longer than a standard half marathon. Someone less experienced, or coming back after a break, will find the third marathon an achievable goal with a few weeks of training. A 10:00 start leaves time to warm up without getting up at dawn, which is welcome in January.
