The Fleet Half Marathon is a long-standing “pre-London” favourite, and in 2026 it returns on 29 March as a classic spring road race organised by Fleet & Crookham AC. Runners tackle a 13.1-mile loop that begins near Calthorpe Park on Reading Road North, heads out on a short town section and then follows an anti-clockwise circuit of Fleet and the surrounding villages, using a blend of urban roads and quieter rural stretches, before returning to the park. The route is gently undulating but fast, fully road-closed and traffic-free, designed with strong PB potential while still offering a few rolling sections to keep things interesting. With chip timing, pacers, enthusiastic marshals and big local support, it’s ideal both as a tune-up for a spring marathon and as a stand-alone target half in the heart of Hampshire.
