Clarendon Marathon & Half Marathon
6th October @ 9:30 am
If you are looking for a marathon which is off road, picturesque and challenging then running the Clarendon is the ultimate. Our route takes you from Salisbury to Winchester along the ancient Clarendon Way with a few extra turns here and there to make up a full 26.2 miles. More than 90% is off road, with the trail following country tracks and paths – many of which have not changed since being travelled by the ancient Kings and Queens of England.
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.
The entry is an inclusive one. All entrants will be given a free tshirt and a medal when they cross the finish line and a free copy of the Souvenir Program.
Use of the buses will also be included. Free photos are also available after the race.
