Remembrance Day Marathon & Half Marathon
The Remembrance Day Marathon & Half Marathon takes place on Sunday 08 November 2026 at Xcel SPORTS HUB Stadium, Waterside Drive, Walton on Thames, Surrey. The event offers both marathon and half marathon distances on a riverside route.
- Marathon: 4 out and back laps on the riverside towpath.
- Half Marathon: 2 out and back laps on the riverside towpath.
The course is off road on a riverside towpath. The overall route has no elevation gain or loss, making it flat. The format includes a scheduled race freeze during which all runners stop for a two minute silence, signalled by horn blasts; running resumes after the silence.
Entry terms note that the fee is the same for both distances and participants specify marathon or half marathon during entry. Entry fees listed for 2026 are £37.95 for affiliated entries and £39.95 for unaffiliated entries. For the 10th edition there is additional recognition for the first 100 entries. Places have sold out in previous years and entries are strictly limited.
UK Athletics distance restrictions apply to participants aged 20 or under. Both attended and virtual participants receive a giveaway medal or memento. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
