Rugby Half Marathon October 2026

A road-closed half marathon through Rugby's town centre and country roads, raising support for Hope 4 Rugby.

RunThrough's Rugby Half Marathon starts on Hart Field and takes runners on a scenic, road-closed route through town-centre streets and country roads, including sections of the disused Great Central Railway, now a linear nature reserve. The course has gentle undulations and 166m of elevation gain, with a three-hour cut-off due to road closures. Entry includes a themed medal, chip-timed results, free race photos and post-race goodies, with the event supporting the charity Hope 4 Rugby. Minimum age is 17 and the event village opens at 07:30.
