Route information

Plymouth Britain’s Ocean City Running Festival boasts over 10,000 participants, with the choice of taking on either the Plymouth Half Marathon or the Plymouth 10K distance.
Both distances start and finish on Plymouth Hoe Promenade, offering breathtaking views across the water. The Half Marathon takes participants through the city centre, along the coastline, and into the scenic Saltram Estate before looping back to the waterfront, featuring a few rolling hills that reward with beautiful countryside stretches. The 10K follows a flatter, faster course around the city and seafront, making it ideal for beginners or those chasing a personal best.
