From Durham OnAir from Monday, August 3rd, 2026

Since 1981, the world’s greatest half marathon has brought people together – from first timers to all timers and once in a lifetimers, from charities to fundraisers and costume wearers, from famous faces to world-beaters and true local legends.

The National Lottery are appealing to players across County Durham, as a £1 Million lottery prize remains unclaimed. A winning UK Millionaire Maker code from the March 13, 2026 draw was sold in the Hartlepool area, but nearly five months on, the millionaire has yet to show up. Time is ticking, as the winner only has until September 9th to claim the prize!
