Kettering Half Marathon & 5K

The Kettering Half Marathon & 5K begins and ends at Wicksteed Park in Kettering, Northamptonshire. The half marathon starts at 9:00 am, with the 5K beginning at 9:20 am. This Sunday morning road race offers two distances, chip timing, complimentary race photos, post-race refreshments, and a themed medal included with entry. The half marathon course is undulating, not flat, so runners should anticipate changes in pace throughout. The route departs Wicksteed Park, enters Kettering town centre, proceeds through the grounds of Boughton House, and then follows quieter country lanes before looping back to the park. Each kilometre is marked with distance flags, and marshals are stationed along the route to provide guidance and ensure participants proceed toward the finish.
