Andover Half Marathon

About the Event

Experience the allure of the Andover Half Marathon, where runners traverse through stunning landscapes and historical landmarks along a challenging yet rewarding course. The race begins and concludes on bustling High Street, offering participants an engaging urban start before venturing into the countryside.
The 13.1-mile route is predominantly paved (84%), with stretches that take you onto scenic off-road trails (16%) winding through tranquil villages and past three ancient Iron Age hill forts. These historic sites add a unique element to your run, immersing you in centuries of history while enjoying breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Well-marked paths ensure easy navigation throughout the race, complemented by regular aid stations providing essential hydration and nutrition. Dedicated marshals and medical staff are stationed along the route to offer support and assistance whenever needed. Accurate chip timing guarantees fair competition, with category prizes up for grabs—including cash awards for first male and female finishers.
Upon crossing the finish line, each participant will receive a custom-designed finisher's medal as a testament to their achievement. The event also offers convenient parking options near High Street, making it easy for runners to access the start area. With a vibrant town-centre atmosphere surrounding the race day activities and a 3.5-hour cut-off time, this half marathon is an experience that combines historical charm with modern running excellence.
Join us in Andover for a run through history and scenic beauty!
