Description
There’s something deeply grounding about running on trails that have seen centuries of footsteps before yours. The Andover Trail Marathon and Half Marathon take you through the heart of North Hampshire’s countryside, where the rolling hills, winding forest paths, and open meadows offer a challenge wrapped in natural beauty.
Starting from the edge of Enham Alamein, the route leads you into landscapes that demand strength and reward every effort. You’ll climb towards Coombe Gibbet, the highest point in Hampshire, with sweeping views that make the burning legs worthwhile. The downhills are long and liberating, the kind that make you smile mid-stride. Whether you're running the full marathon or the half, you’ll find quiet stretches that let you breathe deeply, reflect, and simply enjoy the journey. And with every turn, there’s a sense of purpose—not just in your stride, but in being part of something grounded and real.
This isn’t about medals or clock-watching—though you’ll get a beautiful locally-made one and chip-timed results. It’s about testing yourself against the terrain, meeting fellow runners who love the mud and hills as much as you do, and returning home with more than just tired legs. Whether it’s your first trail event or your fiftieth, Andover’s trails will stay with you long after the finish line. Visit the organiser’s site for more details and to claim your place in the hills.
