St Aidan's Virtually Real Half Marathon
#STAIDANSHALF

Fly the nest from St Aidan's to Fairburn Ings!

This is the trail half marathon that takes you round not one, but two nature reserves! But what does virtually real mean? Well, it’s real in that you are being invited to run the St Aidan’s Half Marathon course and it’s virtual in that you are asked to run it at a time of your choosing between Saturday 10th and Sunday 18th October. Like a real race, you will have a race number, but like a virtual run you will record your own time. Like a real race there will be a start line, finish line and marked course, but like a virtual run there won't be any marshals. You will get a medal when you finish, but they will be sent out after the event. Maybe it’s really virtual, but we like to think it’s virtually real. The St Aidan's Trail Half Marathon starts (and finishes) at St Aidan's RSPB nature reserve but also takes in Fairburn Ings RSPB nature reserve. The course starts close to the RSPB visitor centre at St Aidan's Nature Reserve and follows the River Aire for a spin around Fairburn Ings before returning back to St Aidan's.
