The DB Wood Newark Half Marathon continues as a new, faster and more scenic summer race following its re-launch in 2016. It attracts over 1000 entrants with a fun run and entertainment for all the family.
The setting is historic Newark with its castle and civil war museum. The race starts in the Sconce and Devon Park, site of civil war battles, passes the Ice Age Journey dig, where our ancestors settled over 13,000 years ago, skirts East Stoke, site of the bloodiest civil battle through Elston, birth place of the Darwin family, then back to the Sconce and Devon Park.
The route is flat and fast and mainly on closed roads. A UKA Certificate of Course Accuracy has been issued for the event and the UKA Race Licence is 2020-39711.
