The Newark Half Marathon was conceived in 1982 as a fund raising initiative by Newark Rugby Club and Newark Athletic Club. At its peak in the mid 1980s it attracted up to 2000 runners.
Its central location within the country is probably why it is still so popular. Runners travel from all over Britain and overseas to take part in the event. The race is run over a mainly flat (one hill at nine miles) town and rural course which starts and finishes in the centre of Newark on Trent.
The 2009 Newark Half will also incorporate the Nottinghamshire County Marathon Championships.
