Reading Half Marathon 2026

Join us for the Reading Half Marathon and enjoy a finish rarely found outside an Olympic stadium, with people cheering you into the Select Car Leasing Stadium and over the finish line. So whether you run for fun, to stay fit, run for a club or professionally, this is a race that is perfect for you.

Not only does the race take in the centre of Reading, where you will experience huge crowd support, but also passes through the beautiful grounds of the University campus, where the event started and finished in its first year.

Sue Ryder is here to make sure everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need.

There is no one size fits all when it comes to how we cope and the help we need, but with our support, no one has to face dying or grief alone. We are there when it matters.

Run with Sue Ryder and you’ll receive:

• a Sue Ryder running vest*
• top fundraising tips and support from the team
• an awesome cheer point on the route
• pre and post-race snacks at the Sue Ryder stand in the Event Village
• access to our exclusive Team Sue Ryder Facebook group.
