THE Ealing Half Marathon will return to Lammas Park next year on Sunday, September 27 – and registration is already underway with the first 500 entrants benefiting from a £5 early bird discount.

This year’s race featured a record number of finishers and further enhanced its huge community support with runners travelling from all over the UK and abroad to experience the #EalingFeeling .

A total of 8,000 places are available for 2015. Early Bird entry fees cost £29 for affiliated runners and £31 for unaffiliated runners, which includes a medal and online e-goody bag for all finishers. The entry fees will increase by £5 when the 500 early places have been snapped up.

The route remains unchanged for 2015, taking the runners around Central Ealing, Montpelier, Pitshanger, West Ealing, Hanwell and St Stephens before crossing the finish line in Lammas Park.

Alzheimer’s Society, which raised £75,000 from this year’s race will be the headline charity for a second year.

The Ealing Half Marathon attracts an international field but it has its roots in the local community and enjoys a lot of support from businesses, residents and runners.
