Hilly course marathons

Mansfield Half Marathon

Previously a very tough and hilly half marathon, the Mansfield Half Marathon has now rerouted itself a little to ease the strain.

The three forts in question are the magnificent iron age hilltop camps of Cissbury, Chanctonbury Ring and Devil’s Dyke on the South Downs

The marathon runs along a historic route through the Wiltshire and Hampshire countryside – the Clarendon Way

The Eastbourne Half Marathon follows a route which is mainly flat with a hilly section early in proceedings.
