Naseby 1645
The Naseby 1645 is a road race of 16.45 miles held in February that runs through rural Northamptonshire and passes seven Battle of Naseby 1645 memorials and viewpoints. The course is entirely on roads, many of which will be closed to traffic, and has a total ascent of 289 m. The route for this edition remains unchanged from 2027.
Race headquarters, start and finish are at Naseby Village Hall, where a bag drop area will be provided for small labelled bags. There is no parking at the village hall; a free shuttle bus operates from Market Harborough where parking is available and the coach journey takes about 15 minutes each way. A drop off and pick up point will be available in Naseby for those not using the shuttle and car sharing is encouraged.
Organisers advise entrants should be confident completing the distance within four hours. In line with UK Athletics rules, headphones are not permitted except bone conductor types. Water stations are provided at approximately the 3, 6, 9 and 13.5 mile marks and at the finish.
Entries are open at set prices for affiliated and unaffiliated runners, with a minimum entry age of 18 on race day and entries closing seven days before the event. Race numbers with timing chips must be collected on the morning; numbers are not posted out. Trophies are awarded to the top three male and female finishers and all finishers receive an event medal. A portion of entry fees supports the Bruce Green Foundation. Free digital race photos will be available after the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
