Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon East Molesey, United Kingdom   Mar 15, 2026

The Hampton Court Palace Half Marathon is a flat and picturesque course which starts and finishes inside Hampton Court Palace. Running at this historic venue offers not only a perfect opportunity to run a personal best, but to visit and run inside one of the UK’s major tourist attractions. Included in the entry is a Themed Medal, T-Shirt & Event Goodie Bag! This event is chip timed & will be a RunBritain event.

This is the only Half Marathon to be held at this famous and historic royal home. Hampton Court Palace is one of only two surviving palaces that King Henry VIII owned. The race will start inside the gates of Hampton Court Palace and finish in its beautiful gardens. After you’ve finished your race you can visit the famous maze and the world’s largest grape vine.

If you’re gearing up for the London Marathon, the Palace Half is perfectly placed for those wanting to test themselves over half the distance. If you’re not doing the Marathon, then it’s pretty good for those wanting to combine a long Sunday run while visiting one of the UK’s most popular tourist attractions.
