Join us for Southampton Running Festival

Ready to Run Southampton?

The Southampton Running Festival is back - take on the 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon — whether you’re chasing a personal best or crossing your first finish line, we’ve got you covered.

Join us for the return of the Southampton Running Festival. Beginning and ending in the picturesque Southampton Common. It’s the perfect route for a PB featuring woodland, grassland, ponds, wetlands, lakes and parkland in the well used green open space in the centre of the city.

Southampton Common is a designated 'Site of Special Scientific Interest' and an excellent venue for running, walking and watching wildlife.
