On 8 February 2026, the Farnborough Winter Half Marathon returns as one of the South of England’s key early-season road races, offering a fast one-lap half marathon alongside a shorter 5km and an 800m children’s run based entirely at Farnborough Business Park. The main half marathon route is fully on asphalt, using closed roads around Farnborough Airport and out toward local landmarks such as Pyestock Hill and the Farnborough Aerospace Centre, with a profile that is largely flat and built for steady pacing and personal-best attempts. Runners start and finish under the iconic Airship Hangar arch, with multiple water stations, chip timing, medals and a race village with food, drink and partner stalls. The kids’ fun run loops roughly 800m on park roads near the start–finish area, keeping younger runners close to the action. With no strict cut-off before roads reopen and pace groups right back to run–walk, it’s designed to welcome everyone from first-timers to experienced club athletes.
