About Running in Northamptonshire on Verus

Northamptonshire has one of the broader calendars Verus covers: 7 races spanning 5 distances, from 3 ultra marathons, 1 10K, 1 half marathon, 1 5K and 1 marathon. A county with that range is one you can train a whole year in without leaving.

The calendar is concentrated rather than continuous: 5 months of the year have something on, and April is the busiest. Worth knowing if you are planning a build — the racing here comes in clusters, so a goal race and a tune-up are not always the sensible distance apart.

Alongside the races, Northamptonshire has 12 parkruns — free, weekly, and the way a lot of people here got started.

If nothing here fits your dates, the fullest calendars Verus covers elsewhere are London (39 races), Hertfordshire (30 races) and Kent (26 races).
