Larking Gowen Ipswich Half Marathon 2024

Please note that this event is now sold out.

Event information

Following a successful 2023 event which raised more than £8,000 for Suffolk Mind and our mental health services in Suffolk, we are once again delighted to be an official Charity Partner of the Larking Gowen Ipswich Half Marathon 2024.

The race will start and finish at Portman Road Stadium – home to Ipswich Town FC. You will see runners heading down Duke Street, through Ipswich Waterfront and then along Cliff Lane. Continuing around the River Orwell, you will head to Wherstead Road, back along Grafton Way before reaching the big finish at the stadium.

The Suffolk Mind team and volunteers will be there to welcome you in the Charity Village and to cheer you along, at a dedicated Suffolk Mind cheer point along the route.

So, if you’re looking for a new challenge local to home and you are keen to support Suffolk Mind and our mission to make Suffolk the best place in the world to talk about and take care of mental health, why not sign up to run on our behalf and benefit from our special registration rates.

Age restriction

Please note this race is organised by external provider Run 4 All and under their terms and conditions runners must be 17 years old on the day of the event to take part.

How to register

We have a limited number of spaces for this event and are offering competitive packages to runners choosing to fundraise for Suffolk Mind.

Any 2023 runner who raised in excess of £200 for Suffolk Mind automatically qualifies for a fully funded place, provided you pledge to endeavour to raise a minimum of £200 for our charity next year.

Please email the Fundraising team to claim your space.

All other runners will be able to register a space (subject to availability) at the discounted price of £15 each, provided each runner pledges to endeavour to raise a minimum of £170. Plus, you will be able to purchase one Suffolk Mind running top at 20% off the RRP (we will send you a discount code with your registration confirmation).

To register, please pay your registration fee here and wait for our team to confirm we have secured your space – you should hear from us within 72 working hours.

Please note: to benefit from either of these packages, you must commit to setting up your Giving page on the Suffolk Mind website.

Be part of our team and make a real difference in our county

Join us in 2024 to help make a difference to mental health in Suffolk.

Here’s an example of just how much fundraising can help us:

In 2023, Jess, Graham and Robert (pictured) ran together and raised a phenomenal £1,355.65 for Suffolk Mind. This amount could enable us to provide 25 fully-funded counselling sessions, or enable us to deliver 18 Sammy Movement Sessions to support children’s mental health in primary schools.

By fundraising for Suffolk Mind, you can be sure that all profits made will be reinvested in our county.
