SPECTATORS

The Blackpool Marathon & Half Marathon offers spectators numerous excellent vantage points along its scenic, coastal route. The course is a flat, two-lap loop along the Promenade, stretching the full length of Blackpool, providing multiple opportunities to cheer on runners.
Blackpool Tower & Central Promenade: This iconic location is near the start and finish lines, making it ideal for witnessing the race's most exciting moments. The area is bustling with energy, featuring entertainment and ample amenities.
North Pier & Golden Mile: Positioned along the early and late stages of the race, this stretch offers a lively atmosphere with plenty of space for spectators. It's perfect for capturing memorable photos against the backdrop of Blackpool's famous attractions.
Bispham and Cleveleys:  These quieter sections of the course provide a more relaxed viewing experience. With fewer crowds, spectators can enjoy unobstructed views and offer personal encouragement to runners.
