Southampton Running Festival
The event begins and ends in Southampton Common, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. The route runs through woodland, grassland, ponds, wetlands, lakes and parkland within the open green space in the centre of the city. Each kilometre is marked with distance flags.
Distances on the course include:
- Half Marathon - 6 laps plus out and back
- 10k - 3 laps
- 5k - 2 smaller laps
- Junior Race - a separate short course
Friendly marshals guide runners around the course and provide encouragement. The event village offers food and drink options and free goodies from event partners at the finish area. Organisers highlight sustainability as a key consideration for the event and offer an event t-shirt at a reduced price when purchased as part of entry through their kit partner RT Kit.
