Bath Half Marathon 2026

Crowd of runners in Bath

Run this 'big city' race, starting and finishing in Bath's picturesque city centre, and help support a better future for seriously ill children.

The Bath Half Marathon is known for its surprisingly flat course, despite the city's hilly terrain, through its unique two-lap course running either side of the river Avon valley.
