The Weymouth Half Marathon is pencilled in for Sunday 14 March 2027, the 12th edition of a road race that starts from the Pavilion on the Esplanade. The course follows the Dorset coast and passes the harbour, with chip timing, water stations and full medical cover.
What to expect
The race sold out in both 2025 and 2026. For 2027 the organisers hope to take 2,000 runners, and they say they are tweaking the course, so the route may differ from earlier years. Every finisher receives a medal.
Entry fees and the start time for 2027 are still to come, so check the race website before booking travel.
