About the ABP Southampton Marathon
The marathon is the longest race at Southampton's spring running festival. A city-center base and multiple distances make the weekend practical for groups with different race goals.
Course
The city route crosses Itchen Bridge and passes the waterfront, green spaces, central neighborhoods, and St Mary's Stadium. The bridge climb is the defining rhythm change on an otherwise runnable urban course.
Race-day weather
April on the south coast is usually cool, but showers and wind off Southampton Water can change the feel quickly. A light layer is useful before the start.
