Birmingham Half Marathon FAQs
What is the average time for a half marathon?
The average marathon time taken to run a half marathon, in the UK, is just over 2 hours— 2:02:43 to be precise. If this average time sounds difficult, it’s important to remember that except at the highest levels of competition—you’re running against yourself, not anyone else. The world record for a half marathon is less than half the average—less than an hour at barely 58 minutes. The difference between the fastest runner and the average is huge, and simply finishing the race is a great achievement.
What date is the Birmingham half marathon?
One of the best times to run a Birmingham half marathon is at the Birmingham Running Festival on the 22nd of May (in 2022). This even offers both a 5k, 10k and half marathon for keen runners of every ability level.
When is the Birmingham Running Festival?
Held every year, this year Runthrough UK’s Birmingham Running Festival will be on Sunday the 22nd of May.
Where does the Birmingham Running Festival start?
The Birmingham Running Festival is held on mostly tarmac paths with a small section of gravel at the beautiful Sutton Park. Sign up online, and check out all the details for the running festival on our dedicated Birmingham Running Festival website https://www.birminghamrunningfestival.com/
