Gosport Half Marathon 2026 Entry, Date & Race Info

The Gosport Half Marathon is a long-established road race held in Gosport on the south coast of Hampshire. Widely regarded as one of the fastest half marathons in the UK, the event is especially popular with runners targeting personal best times thanks to its exceptionally flat course and favourable late-autumn conditions.

The route follows a predominantly flat out-and-back layout along the seafront and coastal roads around Gosport and Stokes Bay. With very little elevation change and wide running sections, the race regularly attracts competitive club runners, elite athletes, and first-time half marathon runners looking for a quick and accessible course. Its reputation for speed has helped make the Gosport Half Marathon a recognised fixture in the UK road racing calendar.

Organised by Gosport Road Runners, the event is known for its strong local support, efficient race organisation, and welcoming atmosphere. The combination of a fast route, coastal setting, and established history continues to make the Gosport Half Marathon one of the South Coast’s most popular half marathon events.
