The Henley Half Marathon and 10K Run

The Henley Half Marathon and the 10K Run take place each October and raise money for the RNLI as a national charity and for several other local and international charities. Each year we see some 2,500 runners participating. The Marathon course follows a beautiful scenic route through Henley, over the famous bridge, and along the Thames valley. It then returns to cross the river and takes the runners up the hill at Fawley before bringing them home to the Henley Rugby Club.
