ABP Southampton Marathon & Half Marathon

The ABP Southampton Marathon route is an exciting mix of coast, city and parks. This route is predominantly flat, perfect for a debut marathon! This is a 2 lapped route, which means you have twice the fun and you know what’s coming up.

Just like the half marathon and 10K, you’ll get the chance to run over the Itchen Bridge during your race journey. At the top of the bridge almost 100 ft up, you’ll experience a feast for the eyes with the beautiful view of the city, the River Itchen, commercial centre and out to sea towards the Isle of Wight.

There are many delights on this route including running through the huge expanse of the common, along the waters edge in Riverside Park and the premier league Saints stadium, before coming to the bridge itself and reaching a stunning finish in front of the Guildhall in the city centre on your second lap.

This event is an ideal choice for first time Marathon runners and an exciting new course for seasoned pros alike. We are expecting approximately 10,000 runners for this event.

A spectator friendly route, with lots of activities, coffee houses and restaurants to explore and make it a weekend away with the whole family.
