Liverpool Half Marathon
Liverpool Half Marathon is a rolling half marathon in Liverpool, UK, held each March. An undulating city course from the Everton stadium on the waterfront through the centre, then a flatter run to the finish at Pier Head in front of the Three Graces. Mid-March in Liverpool is usually cool and breezy, with temperatures of 4 to 11°C and a chance of showers. The rises around Liverpool are small but relentless — train on similar terrain and race by effort, not pace.
