The Southampton Half Marathon & 10K begins and ends on the pitch at St. Mary’s Stadium, home of Southampton Football Club. This is a city race with closed roads, offering half marathon and 10K distances. It is organized by RunThrough Distances/Events and uses the stadium as its base, unlike typical park or street races.
The course follows roads in Southampton city centre, crosses Northam Bridge with views of the quay, and goes under the Itchen Bridge through Ocean Village before heading back to the stadium. The finish inside the stadium provides a football-ground arrival for runners, distinguishing this event from a standard urban 10K or half marathon.
