Marathons in Reading

A choice of two Summer runs starting and finishing at the YMCA Hawker Centre (Kingston), proceeding towards the Thames Path on an out and back flat and fast scenic riverside route that is very well marked and marshalled all the way along. Both the half marathon and the marathon courses are both at and fast so were expecting some great PBs.

26.2 miles of everything North Hampshire has to offer from thigh burning climbs with a maximum elevation of 280 m to long fast down hill section taking in the the views of the beautiful meadows and valleys.

Lace up get ready for this full range of races in the exclusive Kew Gardens. Friends and family can enjoy free entry to the Gardens and you will love the food on offer and live music of the 2-day festival. Come for the Nike tech t-shirt and finisher's medal.

Welcome to Thames Meander Marathon & Half Marathon - November. A choice of two Winter runs through the scenic Richmond Park, meandering along the Thames Path on an out and back, well marked, mostly riverside route. Both runs are moderately undulating and start and finish at Marymount School in Kingston Upon Thames.

BMHAC are organizing two new trail races in Hampshire. They are a marathon and half marathon that we have named The Hampshire Hoppit (for reasons that will become apparent see below!). The South of England seems to have less trail events compared to the rest of the country, so we are hoping that these two new races will become a welcome and enjoyable addition to the UK trail racing calendar.

Golden Phoenix Marathon

If you only do a couple of Phoenix events this year or even just one, then this or the Silver Phoenix are the ones to look at!

What can we tell you about it at this stage?

Well, in 2018 we brought you the Explorer - the world's 'largest' finisher's medal and this year we're aiming to bring you the 'best' medals you've ever seen. A bold statement by anyone's standards (and clearly a subjective thing), but if you know our medals, then when we ask you to 'trust us', we hope you will.

Trek Hire UK (aka Shere Trekking & Outdoors) are pleased to announce that we have added a half marathon to our usual 10k and 42k multi-terrain event next year. We believe that this is one of the most stunning trail runs in the south-east of England, dont just take our word for it check out Rocket Runners video blog on this page.

Dont just talk about it, come and RUN IT, WALK IT, even NORDIC WALK IT
