Barratt Homes Relay Marathon
21st May 2023
After an incredible event back in 2019 we are pleased to announce that the 2022 Romsey Relay Marathon returns to the stunning Broadlands Estate on Sunday 1st May.
After a pandemic induced two year hiatus, The Barratt Homes Relay Marathon returns for the 9th year on Sunday 21st May 2023. Organised by the Rotary Club of Romsey, the Marathon is a unique community event held in the spring of each year, on the Broadlands Estate. Open to the whole community, the event raises funds and awareness for local charities and other good causes.
​
The Relay Marathon gives an opportunity for anyone to take part in a team of up to 10 runners who will collectively run 26miles and 385yards. Each runner will run two circuits of 1.3 miles to complete their leg of the course before handing the baton to their teammate. Every penny the Teams raise goes to charities and good causes of their choice, with the whole entry fee supporting Rotary's work.
COUNTDOWN UNTIL RACE DAY
The Relay Marathon has established itself as a regular event on the Romsey calendar. The success of the event is based upon individuals, businesses and charities that want to partake in a small challenge that can benefit the local community.

Local charities and good causes are invited to come along on race day to host stalls either as a fundraising initiative, to entertain to the crowd or help us marshal the race. If your charity is interested then have a look at the Charities section under Get Involved.
