Why You’ll Love the Amazing Northampton Run:

• A Great Route: Starting in the iconic Market Square, you’ll race downhill over South Bridge, past major sports venues like Sixfields Stadium (football), Franklin’s Gardens (rugby), and The County Ground (cricket), plus enjoy the beauty of three stunning parks and the University campus.
   
• Safe & Supported: The course is well-marked, marshalled, and has mile markers to the finish line. We’ve got four water stations at 3-mile intervals to keep you hydrated with water in recyclable cups.
   
• Awesome Prizes: Everyone gets a medal and t-shirt – because every runner is a winner and of course, we've also prizes to the top 3 male and female finishers too.
   
• Pacing for Everyone: Want to smash your PB or just finish strong? We’ve got pacers to guide you through the race, from 1:30 to 3:00 hours. You won’t be alone out there – we’ll help you hit your target.

  • Female record – Kelly Barnett – 1:25:28 (2023)

• Cut-Off Time: Don’t worry about being left behind – the race has a 3-hour cut-off, so whether you’re speedy or taking it slow, we’ve got you covered.
   
• Bag Drop: Need somewhere to store your stuff? We’ve got a secure bag drop at the start/finish, and we’ll collect any pre-race clothing you want to donate to charity.
   
• Toilets & Facilities: You’ll find toilets at the start/finish and mile 8 in Abington Park, so you can focus on the run, not looking for a loo.
