Andover Half Marathon & 12km
The Andover Half Marathon & 12km is a town-centre running event in Andover, Hampshire, organised by Seasons Run Club and scheduled for 25 October 2026. The event starts and finishes on Andover High Street and features a race village in the town centre.
Distances
- Half Marathon : 13.1 miles (mixed terrain, ~84% paved)
- 12km : ≈12.77 km (mostly paved; ~10% firm dirt)
The half marathon route climbs about 229 m and passes through quiet villages with views that include three Iron Age hill forts. The course is way-marked and marshalled with checkpoints. Accurate chip timing is used for participants, and timing results are published after the race.
On-course support includes aid stations for the half at about 4.7 miles and 9 miles (with extra stations on hot days), a first aid tent at the race village, and support vehicles. The 12km course has no aid stations and runners are advised to carry hydration as needed. A generous cut-off is applied: 3.5 hours for the half and 2.5 hours for the 12km.
All finishers receive a bespoke medal. Cash prizes of £100 are awarded to the first male and first female overall, with podium places and age category prizes for the half. Town parking is free on Sundays with several suggested car parks in Andover. Eligibility: half 16+ and 12km 13+ on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
