Solent Half Marathon

Solent Half Marathon is a friendly, pre-entry half marathon organized by Hardley Runners. The event takes place on the Solent coast, winding through the New Forest around Exbury and along the shore at Lepe. With a cap of 500 entrants, it offers a relaxed atmosphere while delivering a proper endurance challenge.

Proceeds go to charity, supporting Oakhaven Hospice and the Huntingdon’s Disease Association. The 2026 edition moves to spring and marks the race’s 40th anniversary. Entry is online with early-bird fees (roughly £25–£29) and a £2 discount for EA affiliated runners.

Pre-entries only; open online until sold out. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
