The 2027 Farnborough Winter Half Marathon will be run in early February a date we expect to follow for the foreseeable future.
We are now open for entries for the 2027 Farnborough Winter Half Marathon. As previously the route will start and finish under the Aircraft Hangar Arch in Farnborough Business Park but there has been modifications to the route to remove the out and back section on Laffans Lane and then along Shoe Lane when there is extensive building work. The additional distance is made up in the early sections of the course on the roads of Farnborough Exhibition Centre with the route broadly circling the airport, passing along the inner lane of the A325 before and turning onto Aerospace Boulevard and returning to the Exhibition Centre. The new course still needs to be formally measured and certified before we can obtain the England Athletics License.
For those of you who are new to the event, the Farnborough Winter Half is often the first Major Half Marathon of the year, there is a limit of 3000 runners in the race and the race usually sells out before race date. The route is fast in 2026 the race was won by Theo Doran who came home in 1:07:48 with Rachel Laurie winning the women's race in 1:17:21. With the help of our pace teams -we had 20 pacers covering six different time goals - we also had 339 finishers under 90 minutes and 1464 runners under two hours, more importantly we had 2351 total finishers as well as over 60 children running the 800m Kids Run.
The weather was kind to us in 2026 and it was not quite the 'Winter' Half we have had in previous years where sub-zero temperatures and snow flurries are more common. Full results are available form the link above as are images from the 2026 race, which are free to download. We are looking forward to another successful race in 2027.
A prize-giving ceremony for the first three male and female runners will take place as soon as possible after lead runners finish. Masters prizes will be sent out after the race when we have finalised all the results. Prizes will be commemorative wooden trophies and product vouchers.
