The course starts and finishes at Wicksteed Park and runs through Northamptonshire, including Kettering town centre, the grounds of Boughton House, and quiet country lanes. The half marathon is on closed roads, is undulating, and records an elevation gain of 182 m. A three hour cut off applies to the half marathon.
