The Run 09 is the the first road race to ever take place in Northampton, with runners, walkers and joggers all taking part.


With the great outdoors of Northamptonshire being so attractive, you can’t blame so many people here for wanting to get out and about in it. And there’s no more invigorating way to experience the beauty of our county than by running or jogging around it.
We have over 4,300 miles of public pathways to explore, with some great views along the way. Our wonderful parks and green spaces also make ideal – and inspiring – running tracks. See Green Spaces for some ideas of where to let your running shoes take you.
