Route information

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

Enjoyed the event I did in October, volunteers were great. Pity the big finishing line clock/timer was a minute out, not sure if someone forgot to press the timer at the start! Please sort that out for the next one.
