Kettering Half Marathon

The Kettering Half Marathon is a road race held in Northamptonshire, beginning and ending at Wicksteed Park. A 5K race is also part of the event, attracting both half-marathon participants and those opting for a shorter distance. The course is not flat but undulating, incorporating Kettering streets, rural lanes, and estate grounds. Starting from Wicksteed Park, the half marathon route proceeds into Kettering town centre, then continues through the grounds of Boughton House. Participants then run along quieter country lanes before returning to Wicksteed Park to finish. Reports indicate thousands of participants complete both the half marathon and 5K, suggesting a wide community involvement rather than a small, exclusive event.
