The Ards Half Marathon on 27 June 2025 takes runners through the towns and countryside of Ards in County Down.
Starting and finishing in Newtownards, the route is undulating-to-hilly, on roads and footpaths. It has a reputation for being one of the toughest half marathons in the province.
As well as the Half Marathon, the event includes an approximately 9 mile Walk - through Newtownards and the neighbouring countryside past Scrabo Tower.
It is organised by the Scrabo Striders and supported by the Ards Borough Council.
