The Freckleton Half Marathon is an annual road running event held in Freckleton, Lancashire, United Kingdom.
The event was the idea of the then chairman of the local sport committee who was inspired by Ron Hill's performance in the 1964 Summer Olympics, and Ron accepted the invitation to run.

Ron returned to Freckleton in 2007,
