Naseby 1645

Being staged in February, as runners are building up their mileage towards the 26.2 miles, it provides a perfect marathon prep event for those training for Spring marathons. A unique challenge, at the perfect time of year for those preparing for Spring marathons, the Naseby 1645 weaves through rural Northamptonshire passing seven Battle of Naseby 1645 memorials and viewpoints. Race HQ, Start/Finish – Naseby Village Hall, Naseby. Because we are operating road closures at the Naseby 1645 event, we are advising that all runners should feel confident in completing the distance within 4 hours. This works out at an average running pace of 14m 35s per mile. The route remains unchanged from 2024, although the start/finish has moved back to its original location at Naseby Village Hall. The route is challenging and you are guaranteed a PB for the distance (unless you ran it last year!) as there is nothing like it in the area. It is entirely run on roads, many of which will be closed during the race to traffic, ensuring the highest standards of safety for runners. This is a challenging and undulating course having a total ascent of 289m. In line with UKA rules, headphones are not permitted, other than the bone conductor type.
