Runners can now register for the Priority First Fleet Half Marathon, which returns to the streets of Fleet, Hampshire, on Sunday 29 March 2026. Organised by Fleet & Crookham Athletic Club, the event starts at 9:30am and follows a traffic-free route through the town, made possible by planned road closures coordinated with Fleet Town Council.
The race will use the same course introduced in 2025, beginning on Reading Road North and finishing at Calthorpe Park. Organisers have confirmed there will be no increase in entry fees from 2025 levels.
Participants will have access to chip timing, professional medical cover and race pacemakers. The event is supported by more than 400 volunteers, and Fleet Town Council will coordinate the road closures for the 13.1-mile course.
The race is a major fundraiser for local charities, with Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care named as a beneficiary for 2026. Many runners use the Fleet Half as a final tune-up before the London Marathon and other spring endurance events.
Headline sponsorship is provided by Priority First, a regional security firm that supports the club in staging the event. Residents can sign up now through the official race website to secure a place.
