After a COVID-induced move to a summer event in 2021, the Farnborough Winter Half will be back in 2022 in its rightful position at the tail end of January when the days are short, the air is cold and the threat of rain, sleet and snow is ever present. What is also back is the accompanying 5K aimed at those who aren't quite ready for the full 13.1-mile distance. We are also welcoming back our free 1K kids run!

After a COVID-induced move to a summer event in 2021, the Farnborough Winter Half will be back in 2022 in its rightful position at the tail end of January when the days are short, the air is cold and the threat of rain, sleet and snow is ever present. What is also back is the accompanying 5K aimed at those who aren't quite ready for the full 13.1-mile distance. We are also welcoming back our free 1K kids run!
The course is the same as it has been for the past two years: a fast, flat, traffic free route, starting and finishing at the historic Airship Hangar adjacent to Farnborough’s Airport. The route takes in a delightful semi-rural circuit which broadly circles Farnborough airport in an anti-clockwise direction.
From its inception in 2016 the event has been very popular with local runners and those from further afield looking for an early race to test their winter fitness. The race is limited to 2000 runners and generally sells out early so don't delay if you are thinking of running. Entries will be closed when we have reached our limit.Â
Currently we do not know if there will be any COVID related restrictions on how we can operate the race in January 2022 but we may set runners off in waves to maintain some social distancing and provide more running space on the course. If you enter before December 31, 2021 we will send out your race pack in the first week of January. If they are still available, late entries will be for collection on race day.Â

Choosing an overseas event is an exciting prospect and you will spend a lot of time training and focusing on it. It is essential then that you don’t jeopardize your dream by booking travel arrangements with a non-bonded supplier and run the risk of losing your money if a travel company goes into liquidation. 2:09 Events is a fully bonded tour operator regulated with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) under the Air Travel Organisers License (ATOL) scheme. This protects your payments to 2:09 Events Ltd for all flight inclusive tours in the unlikely event that 2:09 Events Ltd ceased trading. |
