Bath Half Marathon
This iconic race takes you on a journey through the city’s stunning architecture, beautiful parks, and vibrant streets. Starting and finishing on Royal Avenue, directly in front of the iconic Royal Crescent. Enjoy the stunning views of the River Avon as you make your way through the city.
About the race:
As the sun comes up on race day, there is always a real sense of excitement and anticipation. Runners and spectators pour into the city centre, traffic begins to ebb away ready for the race and the city feels very different. There is no other day like it in Bath.
About the route:
In past years the sight of 15,000 runners setting off down Great Pulteney Street, and then returning to the same spot, 13.1 miles later, never fails to take our breath away. While you would think it is a hilly course, it is actually fast, flat and on completely closed roads the whole route.
This vast boulevard is lined with spectators, sending you off, and welcoming you back, with so much encouragement. Whatever the weather on race day, the spectators arrive in their thousands to show their support.
