Westonbirt Half Marathon

One of the most beautiful running routes in the UK, the national arboretum is the perfect location for sporting events, and runners taking part in this race will be able to take in the world renowned tree collection at one of its most beautiful times of year, with summer blooms and flowering trees providing the backdrop to this popular Half Marathon.

Perfect for those looking for a challenge in the new year, or veteran runners looking to achieve a new personal best, the course takes participants through the picturesque avenues of the Old Arboretum and into the peaceful tranquillity of the ancient Silk Wood, on largely flat terrain and hard paths.

All those taking part in the race will be able to make a big difference to their fitness and wellbeing, but also to the nation’s heritage and environment. Money raised from the Half Marathon goes back into supporting the nation’s woods and forests, and protecting these beautiful places for future generations.
