Clarendon Half Marathon

The Half Marathon starts from the village hall in Broughton (SO20 8AX). The run follows the Clarendon Way setting off through to Houghton and then across the River Test to Kings Somborne, then on up to Farley Mount, down through the woods and eventually on to the finish at Kings' School, Winchester (SO22 5PN). The route is mostly off-road, is tough and challenging but possibly one of the most scenic races you'll ever enter. In addition to the full marathon distance (26 miles), we also have a half marathon event (13 miles less) and a mini (last 5 miles less). If you want to join us but are not able to run the full course, please feel welcome to get a team of 4 together and run in a relay or enter the mini and join us for the last 5 miles. For spectators with children, we will also be running a kiddie's race around the grounds of Kings School. Our marathon event was first run in 1998. It was founded and organised by Paul Elderkin, a keen runner and member of a local Hash House Harriers Club. In 2012, Paul passed the management of the race over to the Rotary Clubs of Winchester and Salisbury.
