Maidenhead Half Marathon

The Maidenhead Half Marathon is a flat, fast road race in Maidenhead, Berkshire, now listed by RunThrough as an October race day featuring a half marathon and a 10k. The current route begins at The Moor, utilizes fully closed roads, and is officially measured, making it a practical target for runners aiming for a personal best. It is UKA-licensed, chip-timed, and typically attracts around 1,000 participants, offering a sense of a substantial event without the scale of a major city race. The course combines Maidenhead’s historic town centre with quieter rural sections. Older descriptions also note riverside, village, and town-centre running on flat roads. Previous editions started from Maidenhead United FC on York Road, and the event has marked a special 10th edition, indicating local history predating the current RunThrough format. Finishers receive a medal, post-race items, and free official race photos, with optional technical T-shirts available. The event supports Devine Children’s Hospice Services, and previous leading runners have finished close to 68 minutes, aligning with the course’s reputation as a fast route.
