The Robin Hood Half Marathon is run in Nottingham, in the East Midlands. The route is an urban road course taking in the city centre's main arteries and the surrounding districts. It is a long-standing local fixture with the atmosphere of a mass-participation half and spectators spread along the route.

1km half marathon and a Mini Marathon for younger runners. The event therefore sits at the end of the summer season, which matters when you plan your training block.

When to start

At this distance, a build usually runs 10 to 16 weeks. The 2027 date is not published, so counting back from September puts the start around May 24, 2027.

These ranges are working conventions, not a research finding — no trial has compared plan lengths against each other. What matters more is that the plan was built for the weeks you actually have, rather than shrunk down from a longer one.
