In it's third year, the Blenheim Half Marathon offers a beautiful backdrop for a running festival. As well as the half, there is a 10K option and a family fun run starting right outside the palace, birthplace of Winston Churchill.
The route is two loops of the grounds the first skirts the perimeter before returning for the final three miles to the finish. The final two miles joins the back end of the 10K making the course busy with a vibrant atmosphere.
The only downside to the event is that spectators are charged to enter the grounds of the palace but there was plenty of enthusiasm from the crowds.
Mark Kennedy completed the half in 1:35:58.
