Solent Half Marathon - Spring

Celebrate a landmark 40th anniversary amidst the serene beauty of the New Forest and Solent shore at the Solent Half Marathon on Sunday, 8th March 2026.

To mark this special edition, each finisher will receive a commemorative mug instead of a medal, reflecting the event's move towards sustainability. With a capped field of 500, a supportive atmosphere fueled by local charities, and post-race offerings from local vendors like Howley Coffee Co. and Vibrant Forest Brewery, it’s a true community gem.
