The course
The Hampshire Hoppit marathon, half marathon, and 10k, are trail races, i.e. predominantly off-road. They use routes that are clearly marked and marshalled, and include local sections of famous long distance footpaths, the Wayfarers Walk and (for the marathon and half marathon) the Harrow Way. All races are scenic single-lap courses that will start and end at Watership Down near Kingsclere on the Hampshire/Berkshire border, reaching some of the highest points in Hampshire with views across three counties. There are occasional quiet road sections or road crossings that will be marshalled.
