Alton Towers Half Marathon

When: 15th November 2026
Where: Alton Towers, Staffordshire
Distance: 13.1 Miles
Fundraising target: £300
Registration fee: £20

The Half Marathon follows an undulating 2-lap course within the iconic Alton Towers resort. Starting and finishing outside the Towers, the route begins with a loop of the Dark Forest, before passing in front of the Towers and into X-Sector around Oblivion and the Smiler, past the lake and into CBeebies Land. You’ll then pass Mutiny Bay and through Katanga Canyon, before making your way down to Nemesis. You’ll then leave the resort for a section around the car parks and internal road network, before turning back into the resort at Galactica, and into the creepy Haunted Hollow. A final loop around the Dark Forest brings you back to the Towers to start a second lap of the same route.
