The Amazing Northampton Run

Sun 13th September 2026

A group of runners participating in a race, with two of them dressed in superhero costumes: one as The Flash (red suit with a lightning bolt) and one as Batman (dark suit and cape). They're surrounded by other runners in athletic gear on a city street. Exterior of Franklin's Gardens stadium, prominently featuring a large mural with rugby players, and the signage for Cinch Stadium and Northampton Saints. In front of the stadium, two individuals are running past traffic cones. Runners participating in a city marathon ascend a slight incline. The leading runner wears a white tank top and black shorts while others follow close behind. Buildings with flower decorations line the path, and trees provide shade along the street. A large crowd of runners, dressed in colorful athletic gear, gather at the start line of a race. The scene is lively and packed, with participants standing closely together, awaiting the beginning of the event. Brightly colored shirts and hats are prominent in the crowd.

One of the most well organised events I've taken part in. The entire team were incredible. The route was brilliant. It was great to see so much of Northampton and I look forward to attending next year. A highlight of the year for sure.
