About the race
The Rutland Spring Half Marathon is a road and mixed-terrain event on 04/04/2027 that circuits Rutland Water, including the Hambleton Peninsula, with start and finish at Barnsdale Wood, Barnsdale, Rutland.
The course distance is 13.1 miles / 21 km with approximately 804 ft of ascent and 804 ft of descent. The route is described as undulating and mixed terrain. The majority of the course is on tarmac footpaths (miles 0–5 and 9–13.1); miles 5–9 are looser underfoot and may be damp in wooded sections. The event is not an off‑road or trail race, though some competitors choose more winter or trail footwear for the looser sections. Feed stations are located at mile 3, mile 6.5 and mile 10.
Entries and services include chip timing, instant results, a finisher medal, comprehensive medical support with paramedics and all terrain ambulances, free event photos and free parking at Whitwell car park for competitors. Whitwell car park is just over 1 km from the start and involves a short walk through Bluebell Wood; a parking exit ticket is issued at the finish.
Age restrictions and entry policy are specified: runners must be 17 on the day and walkers must be 15 on the day. Entry fees shown are Run £36, UKA member Run £34 and Walk £32. The race is not a UKA ranking event. No on the day entries are available. Race rules include no in or over ear headphones while bone conducting headphones are permitted; no dogs or buggies in the run event, while dogs and buggies are welcome at the walk. Sweeper vehicles are provided for participants who cannot complete the peninsula circuit. The event lists the Matt Hampson Foundation as its official charity while allowing participants to fundraise for other charities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
