Last New Year, 2.6 million people in the UK decided to change their diet and exercise habits in a bid to shape up. Sadly, within two weeks however 92 percent had already ditched their resolution in favour of returning to their old ways.

This year, if health and fitness tops your New Years resolution list, why not set yourself the ultimate goal of completing Plymouth’s Half Marathon? Once you have that date cemented in your diary, the motivation of having something to work towards will ensure that this year you don’t become just another statistic!

Plymouth’s Half Marathon will be taking place on Plymouth’s Half Marathon, and is open to runners of all abilities; those hungry for a PB, to raise money for charity and those who just want to complete that New Year challenge and cross the finish line.

Whether you run, jog or walk those miles, crossing the finish line with the support of your town and thousands of other participants will give you a sense of achievement like no other. Who knows, 2014 might be the year you catch the running bug!”
