Half Marathon Course

The half marathon starts from Hackwood Road adjacent to the War Memorial Park in Basingstoke and is a road race starting in the town, but with most of the route on traffic free minor roads through undulating countryside. In 2019 the race will be run in the usual direction (as in 2011-17), and will take place in parallel to a new 10k race.

The race course heads out of town on closed roads towards the village of Cliddesden, you will pass the Jolly Farmer pub, then turn left by the village pond to head up towards Cliddesden School. You enter the village of Ellisfield at mile 4, then turn left towards the church, then right down College Lane with a lovely gentle downhill to mile 6. Turn right and right again before you climb back up past The Fox Inn returning to Ellisfield, then take a left towards Farleigh Wallop. Between miles 8 and 9 there is the legendary ‘Big Dipper’ as affectionately named by local runners, (actually its proper name is ‘Bedlam Bottom’) where the road drops by 100 feet then regains it almost immediately. Then follow the tree-lined Avenue to mile 9, and from here it is more or less downhill to the finish. Once you reach the crossroads you will turn right downhill with some fabulous views across the countryside with Basingstoke in the distance. Back through Cliddesden and towards town, taking a right by the Holiday Inn to return to the race village in War Memorial Park with the last 130m on grass in the park.

Basingstoke 10Km Course

The 10k race starts from Hackwood Road, just outside the War Memorial Park, following the route of the half marathon along closed roads to the village of Cliddesden. Then there is a hill out of the village for about three quarters of a mile before the turn point just before the ‘Farleigh Wallop’ sign, where you retrace your steps downhill back to the village and follow the same route to the finish in War Memorial Park.
