Organiser's Description
Welcome to the Battlefield run 2025…
An amazing well known popular run with fabulous history. A great event to test your run legs, the course feels predominantly down hill for the most part. But don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten to include the infamous Haselbech hill just to give you a chance to recover from all that speed.
The event is suitable for beginners and advanced athletes with two distance options. A single loop 10k option and a Two loop half marathon option for those who want a little more.
The route takes you from the beautiful village of Naseby out on to some of the quietest picturesque roads with rolling hills and stunning views. The Northamptonshire countryside really is quite stunning.
The start and finish will be at Naseby Village Hall where you will be welcomed with open arms and smiles by our wonderful team of marshals.

Course Details
After leaving race HQ you will out anti clock wise through the village of Naseby before heading out on the Cottesbrooke road to the fully signed route which takes in some stunning views. You may want to take advantage of the drinks station which will be located 200m before the fun climb starts. From here you will need to dig deep and cheer your fellow competitors along the climb. Once over the top it’s steady rolling country side back to race HQ. A truly awesome run route.

A great event. Wife and I did the 10 km run. Lots of comments about Haselbech Hill - whilst it was a challenge not nearly as bad as had been made out. It was well organised and the people taking part really lovely. My wife struggled towards the end but was helped 'over the line' by other runners. Recommend to all. If you're worried about the hill have a recce before race day. Chris
First time doing a 10k run. The run its self is challenging but worth it anyone who is looking to do it should go for it definitely worth it Will definitely be doing it again next year the marshals are great at what they do giving you a confidence boost as you go round the course thanks again guys and see you next year
Great event! 2 laps of a lovely course for the half marathon - the description of it feeling mostly downhill though is a lie 🤣🤣 the second half is really tough! Lovely supportive marshals and a really nice friendly field. Low key, well organised, nice variety in the field from super fast to newer runners and everyone felt supported. Helped that we had a glorious late summer morning too - perfect day for it! Will be back - really enjoyable (except the mega hill on lap 2!)

The race was well organised and well described, but maybe predominantly downhill is optimistic!! But as a 71 year old novice (started running a year ago) I found this a great first organised run to participate in. Lovely course, great scenery, and surprisingly a new PR for this distance, so the good runners pulled me along at the back! What a friendly event, has inspired me to book my next event.
