The Romsey Relay Marathon will return to the Broadlands Estate for its eleventh year.
The event, which will take place on Sunday, May 18, is expected to draw in hundreds of runners, families and supporters.
The marathon has grown significantly in popularity since its inception in 2013, with more than 180 teams anticipated to participate this year compared to just 32 teams in its first year.
The event was initially launched as part of the Olympic legacy and has since become a staple in Romsey's events calendar.

All funds raised by the teams are donated directly to their chosen charities and good causes, while entry fees support the Rotary Club’s community projects.
The relay format of the marathon makes it accessible to all, welcoming runners of all ages and abilities.
Teams of up to 10 people will collectively complete the 26.2-mile marathon distance, with each runner covering two laps of a 1.3-mile course before passing the baton to their teammate.
Charles Forward, one of the event organisers, said: "The Romsey Relay Marathon is all about bringing people together—whether you’re an experienced runner, a workplace team or a group of friends, it’s a chance to challenge yourself while supporting fantastic causes.
"The atmosphere on the day is electric, and it’s incredible to see so many people making a difference."

The event will take place at the Broadlands Estate in Romsey, with a start time of 10am.
Pedestrian entry will be from Burma Road on the Romsey side of Broadlands, while car entry will be from The Rapids car park.
