Introducing The Hastings Half Relay: Half the Distance. Double the Fun.
Grab your bestie and conquer the course together.
New for 2027, we’re opening the Hastings Half Marathon to more people than ever with a brand new relay race, giving more runners the chance to experience the legendary race day atmosphere!
By splitting our iconic route into two manageable sections you’ll both soak up the electric crowd support and race day glory without having to run the whole distance solo.
Couch to 5k graduates, social runners, and friend groups looking for an epic challenge - this is built for you.
How the relay works:
- Two Legs (approx 10.8km for leg 1, 10.3km for leg 2): Team up in pairs to conquer the route together.
- The Route Strategy: One runner takes on the epic uphill section, and the other gets to fly down the downhill return!
- Double the Rewards: Yes, both runners get their own official race bib, incredible crowd support, chip timing and a shiny finisher medal to take home
No prize money, no pressure, just good vibes: Swap speed for high-fives and shared team energy
