Welcome to ABP Southampton Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10k! This fantastic event offers runners the choice of either a Marathon, Half Marathon or 10km race, along with closed roads through the heart of Southampton.

All races start and finish in the heart of Southamptons city centre with the run course passing iconic local landmarks including Bargate, QE2 Anchor and St Marys Stadium. Sure to be the race highlight will be running both the ascent and more popularly the descent over the Itchen bridge, which will be closed exclusively for this unique event.

The marathon is back!

On a revised course, with over 600 metres of elevation gain, this is challenging runs along on country lanes, trails and grass.

Challenging, yes, but rewarding too, with fabulous views over the beautiful Meon Valley and across to the Isle of Wight - before a fast descent back into the valley as you head for the finish.

You can take your time to enjoy the occasion, but we ask that you plan to finish by 4:30 PM and we may ask you to retire or take a shorter course if you are running out of time.

The race will start in The Borough, Downton and continues along Moot Lane to Hale, Castle Hill and Woodgreen then retraces the route back to the finish in Downton. All on-road (nb road open to traffic) on fairly quiet country lanes. Very scenic route, a few hills but not too demanding!
