Covid Secure - Enter with confidence
Our Covid-19 plans aim to provide you peace of mind when entering our Basingstoke Half Marathon 10k. Health and safety is always paramount and we will respond to any national or local government requirements and our plans will be scrutinised by the local council and others prior to the race. We are also required to comply with guidance from the UKA (UK Athletics – the governing body for road races).
Updates will be posted here and on our Facebook page and we will of course send further information directly through to our participants around 2 weeks ahead of the event date and final updates 48 hours prior to the event.
Likely measures (subject to change and additions as stated above) include:
- Requirement to take and show evidence of a negative lateral flow test taken within 24 hours of the race
- Requirement to wear face coverings (unless exempt) when in enclosed spaces or on start line
- One-way system around the race village
- A rolling or wave start using chip timing, rather than gun times, will be used for prizes and results
- Limits on spectators
- Reduced or self service bag drop facility
- Enhanced hygiene measures around the course and water stations
- Self service for finish line goodies after hand sanitising
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the event run on the advertised date?
Yes, we still fully expect the event to run on the advertised date of 2nd October 2022. However should there be a lockdown / other restrictive measures closer to the event, then we will re-evaluate – health and safety has to be the priority.
What happens if the race gets cancelled or postponed?
A full refund will be available in the event of complete cancellation, alternatively you can request that your entry is deferred to the next year.
In the event of postponement, there 3 options:
- REFUND – refunds are available but must be requested by an advertised deadline date. If a refund is not requested, you will be automatically entered for the race on the new date.

- DEFER – You can defer for free to the Half Marathon 10k or 5k in 2023
