Compton Verney Half Marathon, 10K & 5K 2026
Entry is open for the 2026 edition of this popular road race based from the beautiful art gallery mansion house of Compton Verney.
New Race Distance Option for 2026
We’ve added a 5K route option that you can sign up for.
Event Information/Overview
Previously known as Edgehill Half Marathon, we decided to rename it after the beautiful start/finish venue. The course doesn’t in fact go up Edgehill. We are always overwhelmed at how beautiful Compton Verney is when we are setting up. If you have never been, the beautiful house and grounds are well worth a visit.
The half marathon sets off from the front of the house and winds through the villages of Kineton, Little Kineton and Radway before returning up the “cheeky” Pittern Hill at 11.5 miles and back to finish on the lawns of Compton Verney by the lake.
In previous years we have been blessed with beautiful weather, we had to make sure there was plenty of water available but it made for glorious events.
In 2023 we added a 10K race distance option which has proved very popular and will continue to take place in 2026. This year we’ve also added a 5K distance option.
The Half Marathon will start at 9am and the 10K & 5K will start at 9:20am.

Detailed Route Description
Half Marathon
Starting at Compton Verney the route turns left over Spring Hill towards Kineton and turns right in the village through Little Kineton and heads out to the A422. The first water station will be just after Little Kineton. Turning left along the A422 for a short section before turning left past water station number 2, and then through the village of Radway. After Radway and just before turning back on to the A4086 is water station number 3, and then runners head back to Kineton. At the church in Kineton there will be another water station before running back to Compton Verney, finishing right by the house.
10K
The first part of the route is the same as the Half with runners turning left out of Compton Verney. Just before the first mile the route turns left and through Lodge Farm connecting with the Lighthorne Road. Turning right this time and heading downhill into Kineton the route turns right again at the Church and heads through Kineton and up Pittern Hill. Just at the top of the hill the route turns right again before linking up with the Lighthorne Road before following exactly the same route back to Lodge Farm and then entering the grounds of Compton Verney to the finish.
