Inspiring, unique and community-spirited – Stoke-on-Trent’s iconic half marathon, The Hanley Economic Building Society Potters ’Arf, will return on Sunday, September 26, 2021. Runners, walkers, relay teams and junior race entrants can now book their places for this incredible event!

The Potters ‘Arf is one of the most rewarding races in the UK. There are so many reasons to take part, including…

• A proper Potteries welcome – experiencing Stokie support, crowds lining the streets and the amazing community spirit is something special;
• Places for all – sections for runners, relays teams, walkers and juniors;
• City centre finish – providing a real atmosphere as you cross that line;
• Fantastic challenges – a wonderful route;
• Special Potteries medals created by Wade Ceramics.

The Potters ‘Arf includes a 13.1 mile run along a well-mashalled route. The event finishes back in the city centre to cheering crowds near a statue of Sir Stanley Matthews.

There is also relay team section for those who do not want to run the full distance – so you can split the 13.1 miles up between you in groups of up to four.

There’s a 13.1 mile walk – which sets off earlier in the morning and has a fantastic atmosphere among the participants. You also finish around the same time as the runners – to cheers from the crowds.

Finally, there’s a 1,000-metre junior race for youngsters aged six to 15 years old. This provides a fantastic opportunity for children to take part – and many previous entrants have gone on to take on the main event.

Everyone who finishes receives a goody bag, as well as the special Potters ‘Arf medal created by Wade Ceramics, including time bonus ribbons. Winners’ trophy presentations take place after the event.

Organisers hope that around 2,000 participants will be able to tackle the course during an amazing, inspiring, community-spirited day. For more information and to sign up, visit https://www.stoke.gov.uk/pottersarf

The Bournemouth Half Marathon starts at the spectacular and beautiful Hengistbury Head, which forms the main division between Poole and Christchurch bays. The first 5 miles of the route makes its way along the cliff tops affording participants the very best views of the coastline before dropping down onto the seafront. You continue to take in the beautiful coastal views as you run along the promenade with Boscombe Pier in sight. A short incline at Mile 8 brings you back up to the overcliff to enjoy a new view of Bournemouth Pier and Poole beyond. Passing Russell Coates Museum on the way down to Pier Approach you’ll get a taste of the glorious finish line that awaits you, but not before once again enjoying the run out to end of Boscombe Pier where you enjoy the feel of the wooden pier boards beneath you. Once final stretch on the promenade, alongside Bournemouth’s award winning blue flag beaches before you once again tread the boards of your second pier, Bournemouth Pier. This Pier was first constructed in 1856 and has undergone numerous transformations over the years, with the addition of the Bournemouth Pier Theatre in 1959. Take it all in before you start your sprint finish through your much anticipated finish line on Bournemouth Pier Approach.
