Following the success of last year, Nottingham Venues has continued the partnership, which will see Nottingham Venues Jubilee Hotel and Conferences welcome runners and their families before and after the 43rd Robin Hood Half and mini half marathons, which take place on Sunday 29 September.
The event has already made history with close to 10,500 runners already registered, surpassing pre-pandemic levels. The surge in participation sets the stage for what organisers hope may become the most attended event in its illustrious history.
Stephanie Moss-Pearce, Director of Marketing at Nottingham Venues comments: “The Robin Hood Half Marathon draws thousands of runners and their families to Nottingham each year and last year was a fantastic opportunity to welcome so many people to our facilities both pre- and post-race, to get a good rest and refuel.
“We wanted to continue our support this year as official hotel partner, as it was so much fun cheering on the runners completing the part of the route that passes directly in front of the Jubilee Hotel and Conferences venue. We’re really looking forward to spurring on the runners as they complete the course and will be keeping an eye out for three of our own team who are taking part this year.”
The Jubilee Hotel and Conferences is set within 65 acres of lakeside grounds and located on the Jubilee Campus. On the marathon route runners will pass by both as they head out from Nottingham city centre to Wollaton Park and then on the way back into the city centre.
The 2024 event has seen a significant increase in charity partnerships, with a record number of organizations involved, including Cancer Research UK returning as the headline charity. Nottingham Venues is one of 18 partners, many with a strong local focus, reinforcing the Robin Hood Half Marathon’s role as a major community and fundraising event.
The Spokes Café, located within the Jubilee Hotel and Conferences, will be open in the morning and Nottingham Venues staff are also planning to set up a cheer station with refreshments outside the venue.
Nottingham Venues’ 4* Orchard Hotel, set within 300 acres of the University of Nottingham parkland, is also open to runners and their families throughout the weekend.
Nottingham Venues is a collection of independent venues specialising in meetings and events, set in the beautiful grounds of the University of Nottingham campus. All venues, including the East Midlands Conference Centre, the Jubilee Hotel and Conferences venue, Campus Venues and the 4* Orchard Eco Hotel were brought together under one brand in July 2022 with the aim of providing an unrivalled guest experience.
Nottingham Venues provides meeting space from 5 to 1000 delegates, with over 40 meeting rooms, 2000 sq. ft of exhibition space and 300 bedrooms at the Orchard Hotel and Jubilee Hotel combined.
