The organisers of the Ealing Half Marathon have released a guide for runners taking part in the race later this month.
This year the event is taking place on Sunday 29 September with the race getting officially underway at 9am. Runners are encouraged to arrive an hour before the race is set to start and an hour and a half if they need to collect a race bib.
The race starts on Culmington Road and finishes in Walpole Park, Ealing in the heart of the race village. The address to head to for the Race Village is Walpole Park, Mattock Lane (W5 5EQ).
There will be a bag group in the middle of the Walpole Park race village. When runners receive their race number, they will also find a bag label. They’ll need to attach the label to the bag they want stored during the run.
There won’t be any changing facilities onsite so people will need to come changed and ready to go.
The route takes in all the sights and sounds of Ealing. Starting and ending in Walpole Park, the run includes routes through Central Ealing, Montpelier, Pitshanger, Hanwell and back to Walpole Park in Ealing.

The Ealing Half Marathon is an annual event that takes place in Ealing, London, attracting runners from all over the UK and beyond. It was set up as a legacy to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
