The Freckleton Half Marathon is the oldest half marathon in the UK, and there is only one older half marathon in the world (in Luxembourg). The Mens Half Marathon started in 1964 and the Womens in 1976. In 2005 the first Fun Run was also held. We have a few pictures from 2002 and 2003, with most taken during 2004 and 2005. Unfortunately, we missed the event in 2006. If anyone has any from earlier years then we would love to put them on the site. Please contact us if you have earlier pictures or any from 2006.

Online entry for the 2010 half marathon is now available <here>. Alternatively, people can follow the link from the half marathon <web site>

For the 2007 and 2008 Freckleton Half Marathon the services of an official photographer from Event Photography were engaged. Photos are available for purchase here <2007 Half Marathon> , <2007 Fun Run> , <2008 Half Marathon> , <2008 Fun Run>.

Unfortunately, due to some misunderstanding, my husband was not given his usual marshalling position for the Half Marathon and Fun Run. As a result he was not able to get many pictures in 2008. Fortunately, others did better and obtained some excellent pictures. They can be found <here> and <here>. Brian Porter has been sent a number of photos which you can find <here>. Our thanks to those who contributed them.

We have a large number of photos from 2007. All the pictures on the site have been shrunk and highly compressed. If anyone would like copies of the original then please send a request with the name/number of the picture(s) to
The pictures are 'Donationware'. We request that you make a donation to the Freckleton Younger Years Charity, which is working towards building a Youth Club in the village.
