Event overview
The Naseby 1645 is a 16.45 mile road race held in Northamptonshire on Sunday 15 February 2026. The route passes seven Battle of Naseby 1645 memorials and viewpoints. Organisers advise that, because road closures are in operation, runners should feel confident in completing the distance within four hours.
Route and on-course support
The course is entirely on public roads and remains unchanged from 2025. Total ascent for the route is 289 m. Water stations are provided at around the 3, 6, 9 and 13.5 mile marks, plus at the finish. In line with UKA rules, headphones are not permitted except bone conductor types. A certificate of course accuracy and a road race licence are in place for the event.
Logistics and entries
Race HQ, start and finish are at Naseby Village Hall, with a bag drop area for small labelled bags. No race numbers are posted; timing-chip race numbers must be collected on the morning of the event. There is no parking at the village hall. A free shuttle bus operates between Market Harborough and Naseby, with a drop-off and pick-up point also provided in the village. Entries are open on the organiser’s entry site. Entry fees are £32 (UKA affiliated) and £34 (unaffiliated). Minimum age for entry is 18 on race day. Entries and transfers close seven days before the event.
Prizes, merchandise and charity
Trophies are awarded to the top three male and female finishers. All finishers receive an event medal. Pre-ordered race t-shirts (£16) and hoodies (£25) are available up to three weeks before the event; none will be sold on race day. A proportion of entry fees supports the Bruce Green Foundation.
