Miles of Middlesbrough Magic
Lace up your running shoes and get ready to take on 13.1 incredible miles through the heart of Middlesbrough.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or taking on your very first half marathon, every step you take helps raise the vital funds needs to keep our helicopters flying.
This incredible flat, closed road route starts in Centre Square, outside the Town Hall and MIMA gallery, taking you through Albert Park, passing the home of Middlesbrough FC, before looping around the docks towards the finish line back in Centre Square.
Every Step Saves Lives
When you lace up for the Middlesbrough Half Marathon, you’re doing more than chasing a personal best. You’re helping our critical care teams reach people when they need us most. By joining #TeamGNAAS, your run fuels life-saving missions across the region, every single day.
Every stride you take helps power our helicopters and rapid response vehicles on the over 2,000 call-outs we respond to every year on average, delivering advanced care to those in life-threatening situations. From city streets to remote countryside, your support means we can be there fast, equipped, and ready to save lives when every second counts.
Your efforts in the Middlesbrough Half Marathon will help us to raise the £9.3m needed to operate our charity every year.
