It's St. Patrick's Day which is always well supported in Liverpool so there are bound to be some serious celebrations going on in the city centre on 17th! The half marathon has become a firm favourite in the lead up to the London Marathon with many people using the race as a test of their progress as they head toward the tail end of their marathon training. Others use the 10 mile distance as a step up from regular 10Ks and test themselves over a longer distance so there are plenty of reasons to take part in this celebratory event. Either way it's a great way to see the city! 2024 marks the 30th anniversary since the start of what was originally known as the Liverpool INTERNATIONAL Half Marathon back in 1994. And with the city now a firm visitor destination with people from across the world, the event equally certainly attracts runners from far and wide.
