Plans for Robin Hood Marathon 2021 ramp up with less that 100 days to go

Runners of Nottingham, are you ready? The clock is ticking with less than 100 days to go until the return of the hotly anticipated 2021 Robin Hood Half Marathon and Mini-Marathon.

This year, the event, which is in partnership with Ikano Bank, marks its 40th year and it's a milestone event to which hundreds have already signed up.

Some 12,000 runners; first timers, charity fundraisers and all the fancy dress costumes you can imagine will come together on Sunday 26th September 2021.

To celebrate the final countdown, organisers are offering 10% off all half marathon entries until Wednesday, June 30, 2021 - making entry starting from £32.95 (AAA Medal only).

Judith Manson, race director said: "With less than 100 days to go until we return to the City of Nottingham, things are really hotting up.

"Race weekend plans are in full swing and boy are we all ready for it. We already have an incredible race list of new and returning runners, and it’s growing by the day. Whether it’s your first 13.1 mile race or you’re a seasoned Robin Hood runner, we can’t wait to welcome you to the start line in September.

"After a year’s absence, we promise you a race day to remember for all the right reasons, whether you’re looking for a personal best, huge finish line high fives or want to help save the planet by choosing the Medal only entry!"

The event is taking an environmental stand this year. Acknowledging the millions of goody bags and T-shirts are given away at races each year that are never used or worn or even end up in landfill, the organisation is breaking the cycle by giving runners only what they want.

For the first time, participants can choose what they receive on the finish line before they get there - reduce the environmental impact and save money in the process. This year, participants can choose Half Marathon entries from either:

  • Medal only entry. Runners collect their well-deserved commemorative medal, water and energy drink.

  • Goody Bag entry. Runners still get their well-deserved bling and drinks with the added bonus of a Tote bag full of goodies including a 40th anniversary Finishers T-shirt.

To receive 10% discount before midnight on Wednesday, June 30, 2021, enter at www.robinhoodhalfmarathon.co.uk using discount code 100DAYS10%.
