Andover Half Marathon & 12km

Take to the streets and scenic trails of Hampshire for the 2026 Andover Half Marathon & 12km, returning on Sunday, 25 October 2026. Organized by the Seasons Run Club, this premier late-season race starts and finishes in the vibrant town-centre Race Village on Andover High Street. Whether you are tackling the full 13.1-mile distance or the slightly extended 12.7km loop, you will experience a unique mixed-terrain course that is approximately 84% paved, offering a fast yet varied running experience through the heart of the English countryside.

The Andover Half Marathon is renowned for its "sweeping views and historic spirit," as the route leads runners south through quiet, picturesque villages with panoramic vistas of three ancient Iron Age hill forts. With an elevation gain of approximately 229 meters (751 ft), the course provides a satisfying challenge for seasoned athletes while remaining accessible for first-timers thanks to a generous 3.5-hour cut-off time. Runners can expect professional support throughout, including accurate chip timing by Timing Monkey, well-stocked aid stations at key milestones, and a dedicated team of marshals ensuring a safe and spirited race day.

Every participant who crosses the finish line on the High Street will be rewarded with a bespoke finisher's medal to commemorate their achievement. For those with a competitive edge, the event features a significant £100 cash prize for the first overall Male and Female finishers, alongside various age category awards. With free Sunday parking at the Chantry Centre and George Yard, and a festive atmosphere fueled by the Seasons Run Club community, the 2026 Andover Half Marathon is the perfect autumn goal for runners across the region.
