Save on entry to Rochdale Half Marathon and 10K with early bird pricing

Rochdale Half Marathon, 10K and Fun Run

Runners can benefit from early bird pricing by registering for this year’s Williams BMW Rochdale Half Marathon and 10K before 31 March 2020.

Entry for the half marathon is reduced by £8 and there’s £4 off the 10K. Over 200 people have already signed up for the popular event which returns on Sunday 4 October.

Races will start and finish by the grade one listed Rochdale Town Hall, they will be chip-timed on fully-marshalled traffic-free courses, with a technical t-shirt and medal handed out to finishers. 

Since 2015 over 5,800 people have taken part in the event, which takes in town and picturesque countryside scenes like Hollingworth Lake. The courses are relatively flat too so great for personal bests.

Councillor Janet Emsley the council’s cabinet member for neighbourhoods, community and culture said: “The event proved popular again last year and demand for 2020 places is already strong. The support and camaraderie was amazing with a friendly atmosphere, many personal bests achieved and thousands raised for good causes. We can’t wait to put on another incredible day and look forward to welcoming runners of all levels this October.”

Half marathon places now cost £23.40 for club-runners, £25.40 for non-club runners, while the 10K is £16.60 for club runners, £18.60 for non-club runners. Fun Run entry opens in June.
