First organized by Run For All in 2018 and rooted in Derby’s running heritage, the Ramathon has quickly grown into a beloved annual fixture. The flat, half-marathon course begins and finishes at Silk Mill Park (Cathedral Green), guides runners past Pride Park Stadium, through Alvaston Park, and offers a refreshing stretch through Elvaston Castle Country Park—blending urban highlights and green space. Participants can expect a well-supported race experience featuring chip timing, a bespoke finisher’s goody bag, optional technical finisher T‑shirt, iTAB medal engraving, water and High5 energy stations, pacers, baggage service, medical supervision, race photos, and a festive event village—all contributing to a lively on‑the‑day atmosphere. The Ramathon continues Derby’s rich half-marathon tradition, previously known as the Derby Half Marathon, reclaiming its original “Ramathon” name and mid-June slot in 2022.
