The Freckleton Half Marathon is the oldest half marathon in the UK, and there is only one older half marathon in the world (in Luxembourg). The Mens Half Marathon started in 1964 and the Womens in 1976. In 2005 the first Fun Run was also held. We have a few pictures from 2002 and 2003, with most taken during 2004 and 2005. Unfortunately, we missed the event in 2006. If anyone has any from earlier years then we would love to put them on the site. Please contact us if you have earlier pictures or any from 2006.

The 2008 Freckleton Half Marathon will take place on Sunday the 22nd June. The 2008 entry form for the Half Marathon and the Fun Run can be downloaded by <clicking here>. An Online entry form is also available at UK Results.

For the 2007 Freckleton Half Marathon the services of an official photographer from Event Photography was engaged. Photos are available for purchase here <Half Marathon> <Fun Run>.

A record 650 entries were taken in 2007.

We have a large number of photos from 2007. All the pictures on the site have been shrunk and highly compressed. If anyone would like copies of the original then please send a request with the name/number of the picture(s) to
The pictures are 'Donationware'. We request that you make a donation to the Freckleton Younger Years Charity, which is working towards building a Youth Club in the village.

Dear Freckleton Residents

I wish to take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for the incredible support you give to the Freckleton Half Marathon. 13.1 miles on a hot June afternoon is a long way. I know. I have the sunburn to show for it!

The runners love you. They love you because you give the race something very special that I cannot organise. You create a wonderful, warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

I ran (and walked a bit) in the race so I know first hand as a runner how special Sunday June 17th was. Last year I thought the atmosphere was great. This year you topped it and it overwhelmed me. Thank you. At least I know what to expect from you next year.

Many thanks

Brian Porter
Race Director
