Cross Bay Half-Marathon TryBooking 2026

Event Description

Do you have what it takes to beat the Bay?

After a 10 year hiatus, the iconic Cross Bay Half-Marathon is back for 2026! 

This unique 13.1-mile route snakes from the start at Arnside Promenade, across Morecambe Bay, towards the finish line at Cark Airfield. Runners will be guided throughout by expert local King’s Guide to the Sands, Michael Wilson.

The challenge, last held in 2016, is the only half-marathon in the world that crosses a tidal bay.

There are various ticket options available, depending on your preference for fundraising.

  • Sponsorship ticket - £55. Requires a minimum of £150 in fundraising for CancerCare.
  • Self-funded ticket - £100. Does not have a minimum fundraising amount.

Both ticket options include race registration, a finisher’s medal, an event T-shirt, free parking and access to the exclusive Runner’s Village at Cark Airfield.

This bucket-list challenge is an experience like no other. The route leads runners across the legendary sands of Morecambe Bay, where every step helps support local people affected by cancer and bereavement.

Following booking, all participants will receive a comprehensive guide, including transport information.
