Basingstoke Half Marathon, 10k & 5k
The Destination Basingstoke Phillips Law event includes a half marathon, 10k, 5k and children's races held around Basingstoke. All races start and finish at the Race Village in Crossborough Park / War Memorial Park, Basingstoke. The 2027 event is scheduled for 3 October 2027.
Most of the road races run on traffic-controlled minor roads through undulating countryside and villages. The half marathon route passes Cliddesden, Ellisfield and Farleigh Wallop, includes a notable drop known locally as the "Big Dipper" or Bedlam Bottom, follows a tree-lined avenue to mile 9 and finishes with a short grass section in the park near Crossborough Hill. Roads on the route will be closed subject to the usual approvals.
Race services include water stations (three on the half marathon, one on the 10k return leg and water at the finish), a bag drop on race day, pacers on the half marathon course and a Race Village with refreshment and sponsor areas. Age limits are 17+ for the half marathon, 15+ for the 10k and 11+ for the 5k. The event awards cash prizes for the top three men and women overall and first prizes in age categories. Course measurement certificates and a UKA race licence are in place. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
