Places to Watch the
ASICS Fleet Pre-London Half Marathon
With its large field, the
Fleet Half Marathon is an excellent event to watch. This page
includes a listing of the best places to watch the race along with the
times the first runners are expected to reach these points.
-
Bear in mind
that there will be road closures in force and it may be necessary to be
at these points well before the runners arrive.
-
For watching the race at
the start or finish or any of the roads around the start or finish,
please park in the Fleet town centre car parks only. There is
no parking available in Calthorpe Park. In addition, we strongly
advise against parking in roads on the half marathon course as this
not only inconveniences local residents but also can disrupt the
race itself.
-
Please do not block any
exits or entrances.
-
There are four pubs on
the route. If you are looking for a drink or a meal, we are happy to
recommend these.

This enables the
runners to be viewed twice as they start and complete an initial
small lap. Viewers can then view the finish in Calthorpe Park.

Around 2.5 miles the
runners enter Stockton Avenue from Fleet Road. |

Catch them here then see them later at the finish. |
