The Robin Hood Marathon was cancelled in 2012 after organisers Sweatshop decided the route was no longer safe.
But it has been revived after talks between Sweatshop and Nottingham City Council to alter the route. |

| WELCOME TO Nottingham! |
 |
| With Robin Hood,
Maid Marian and Friar Tuck in tow, 9,181 runners laced up their trainers and took
to the streets of Nottingham for the Ikano Robin Hood Half, Full and
Mini Marathon. |
Following the same route as the Half Marathon until mile 11 this fast
and flat course takes you around the City Centre, along the tree-lined
University Boulevard and through the Trent building courtyard at the
University of Nottingham, one of the most iconic buildings in
Nottingham. From there we were headed back towards the City Centre and
Trent Bridge, where we proceeded towards Colwick Country Park and
the National Water Sports Centre at Holme Pierrepont Country Park before
winding our way along the river to the finish at Victoria Embankment.

| National Water Sports Centre |
The course saw views of Nottingham Castle, the famous Trent Bridge Cricket
Ground, Nottingham Forest F.C. and Notts County F.C, taking in the
breathtaking scenery at both Colwick and Holme Pierrepont Country Parks
and fantastic views along the riverbank before entering the race
village, which featured a feast of family entertainment in an area
where runners, spectators, families and friends could meet to celebrate
race day and everyone's achievements.
