Route information

Terrain: Tarmac
Elevation: Flat
Route Type: Loop

This course is infamously fast and, when combined with its unique setting, makes for a brilliant place to set your next PB. The looped nature of the course means spectators will have a few chances to catch family and friends as they fly around the track.

The course will be a lapped route of the paths/ roads within Newbury Racecourse rather than on the grass. The final stretch will you bring you to that famous chequered flag for your photo finish.

Half Marathon - 4 laps
10k - 2 laps
5k - 1 lap

There will be plenty of distance markers and marshals to help you keep track and encouraged on your way round.

Did the race in 2021

The event was well organized stewards were excellent, really enjoyed the race. Would have preferred to have done 5 laps of the race course than through all the outside in and out paths 4 times. The medal was decent but the goody bag was non existent.
