Ouse Valley Way Races 2026
The Ouse Valley Way Marathon and Half Marathon are scheduled for 20th September 2026. Both events use sections of the Ouse Valley Way in the county of Huntingdonshire and follow routes along or near the river.
The courses are described as flat and comprise a mix of grass, gravel and tarmac paths. The routes finish in Earith and are framed as trail races registered with the Trail Running Association and insured under England Athletics. Route maps, Ordnance Survey versions and GPX files are available for the courses, and final race instructions are published.
Distances and key course notes:
- Marathon - 26.2 miles, Eynesbury to Earith, 13 metres elevation
- Half marathon - 13.1 miles, Godmanchester to Earith, 9 metres elevation
The event information distinguishes the marathon and half marathon start locations and gives elevation figures indicating very low total ascent for each route. Surfaces and registration with trail authorities are specified to clarify the event classification and the type of terrain participants will encounter.
