Solent Half Marathon - Spring

Commemorate a historic milestone at the 40th Anniversary Solent Half Marathon, taking place on Sunday, March 8, 2026. This cherished, club-organized event invites 500 runners to experience the serene coastal beauty of the New Forest and the Solent shore. Now a key fixture in the Hampshire Road Race League, the 13.1-mile course offers a technical yet rewarding journey through the picturesque village of Exbury and along the dramatic coastline at Lepe. In a bold move toward sustainability for this special edition, finishers will be honored with a limited-edition commemorative mug instead of a traditional medal, serving as a functional trophy of their achievement. The race is celebrated for its authentic, no-fuss atmosphere, where runners share the forest paths with local wildlife and benefit from a dedicated community of volunteers. Beyond the finish line, the celebration continues with local flavors from the Vibrant Forest Brewery and Howley Coffee Co., creating a true festival feel in the heart of the countryside. As a capped-entry event that consistently sells out, early registration is essential to secure your place in this four-decade tradition. Embrace the crisp spring air and test your endurance on one of the UK’s most scenic and friendly road race circuits.
