Take on a scenic race through Northamptonshire at the Kettering Half Marathon & 5K, starting and finishing at the beautiful Wicksteed Park. This memorable route blends town streets, countryside lanes, and historic surroundings to create a varied and enjoyable race-day experience.

The undulating course heads out from Wicksteed Park into Kettering town centre before continuing through the impressive grounds of Boughton House. From there, runners follow quiet country lanes before making their way back to Wicksteed Park for the finish.
