New look for event
The tenth Chichester Half Marathon to be staged since its 2012 relaunch will be organised by Everyone Active, who hope numbers will be back up to pre-pandemic levels after a dip in entries last year.
With its mixture of city and countryside sections of the route, the race takes place on Sunday, September 25, with a 9am start outside the Chichester College race village.
For 2022 there is a new partner – the Run Company, Chichester’s award-winning running and footwear specialists. It will also have a new headline charity, the Rotary Club of Chichester.
Pacemakers and a multiterrain run of around six miles (10k) /10 kilometres are also new this year.
Graham Jessop, one of the organising team, said: “The race will appeal to people of all abilities.
“Many runners know the half marathon course well, having returned to run it year after year and we hope they will be back this year.
“If you’ve run every year since 2012 and want to take part again get in touch with us at chichester sports@everyoneactive.com and let us know you are in for 2022!
“The Chichester Half Marathon has become a festival of runnersforallagesandabilities. “The multi-terrain six-miler will be perfect for those who enjoy parkruns and want to up their distance and difficulty of terrain.”
