About the Marathon
The race will start and finish at Portman Road Stadium in Ipswich, home to Ipswich Town Football Club. The route wriggles through the town centre, loops east to Holywells Park and along the Ipswich waterfront, before following the Orwell River under the Orwell Bridge and into the countryside. At Freston, the route does a U-turn heading back towards Ipswich, and the finish line at Portman Road.
Whatever your running experience, if you're passionate about protecting local wildlife and restoring the natural environment, we would love to have you on our team!
