Market Harborough Half Marathon

The Market Harborough Half Marathon takes place at the Market Harborough Showground, serving as the race headquarters and the location for both the start and finish lines. The event follows an officially measured course of 13.1 miles through the countryside surrounding the town. All participants run on closed roads, and the race is conducted under UKA rules.

  • 13.1 miles

The route includes four water stations, which are located at the 3, 6, 9, and 12-mile marks. Due to safety regulations and UKA rules, participants are not permitted to use headphones unless they are of the bone-conduction type. There is a course cut-off time of three hours for all participants.

The Event Village at the showground features live music along with various food and drink stalls to provide a festive atmosphere for both runners and spectators. Free parking is available on-site for all attendees, and the car parks open two hours before the event begins.

Participants can collect their race numbers either on the day of the event at the registration area or during specific pre-event registration evenings held the week prior. Every person who completes the distance receives a specially commissioned medal. Additionally, trophies are awarded to the top three male and female finishers. Digital race photographs are provided to participants as free downloads following the conclusion of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
