ALT A busy marathon finishing area with numerous runners moving through the finish chute. A large digital race clock overhead displays a time of 02:12:37. The scene is colourful and crowded, with event staff, volunteers, and participants gathered near barriers and tents. Overlaid purple banners read “Reading Half Marathon returns on 22 March 2026” and “Plan ahead if travelling on race day.” The Reading Borough Council logo appears in the bottom right corner.
