About Potters Arf Marathon
The Potters 'Arf Marathon offers a 13.1-mile road race through the six towns of Stoke-on-Trent, with the officially measured course closing local roads before returning runners to the city centre finish. The route is known for its undulating terrain and the notable climb of Heartbreak Hill. Organised by Stoke-on-Trent City Council, the event has run in its current half marathon format since 2005 and has grown to become the county's largest running event.
Beyond the main half marathon, the race day includes a half marathon walk, relay options and junior races, reflecting its established place in the local calendar. The event runs under UKA Rules with professional chip timing, mile markers, marshals and water stations in place throughout. Runners benefit from pacers on the course and receive a commemorative medal and goody bag at the finish, with strong local support and community involvement making it a well-established fixture in the Midlands running calendar.
