The St Neots half marathon is firmly established on the race calender with a developing reputation for putting on a top class event. The course is renowned as potential for PB’s as its three mile downhill finish allows for some seriously fast times. 2014 saw a complete sell out of 1200 race entries within six hours of opening. This year is shaping up to be an even better race. New and improved start and finish for 2015.
