Hampshire Road Race Championships

Each calendar year Hampshire holds Championship races at each major set distance.

To be eligible to compete, each athlete must be born in Hampshire or resident in the county for the past 9 months, and belong to a Hants AA affiliated Club, (AA pays for the Marathon Championship Medals).  Prizes are awarded for the overall winner, male and female, and to the winners in age bands for veteran/masters runners.

Please send any questions or comments about the Hampshire Championships to champs@hrrl.org.uk.
