Coventry Half Marathon Events

Through the Great Central Walk disused railway and the closed town and country roads of Britain's railway centre, this is the half marathon you can't afford to miss.

With a fun 1k run for the family too, this is your perfect end-of-half-term day out before all the Hallowe'en and fireworks fun.

Starting at Hart field, you'll quickly find yourself out on to clear country roads and flying round to return to the town centre on 'a linear nature reserve' - the old railway line that is now a recognised wildlife hotspot.

Of course, all this also means a new, exclusive medal and course records in each male and female category up for grabs, as well as a free t-shirt for all entrants!

Be there from year one to help this event become a major fixture in the race calendar - we'd love to see you there.

The Rotary Shakespeare Marathon more than a marathon!
Whether youre a newbie marathon runner or a more seasoned athlete looking for a personal best, The Shakespeare Marathon and Half Marathon offer runners much more than a great course, which is superbly marshalled and brilliantly organized. This is a chance to experience world famous Stratford-upon-Avon and to run amongst some of the most historical buildings in the the country and through miles of beautiful Warwickshire countryside. You'll enjoy a mainly flat, fast course, starting in the centre of the town, opposite Shakespeares old school, taking in sights such as the River Avon, Holy Trinity Church (home to the grave of William Shakespeare) and the Royal Shakespeare Theatres. You'll run through quintessential English villages, where chocolate box thatch roof cottages, hump back bridges and pretty dry stone walls are a joy to behold.

Well, the route goes through the village of Hallow so this race series just had to happen! The Halloween race is a 7 in 7 challenge - compete in 7 consecutive marathons in 7 days. The route is a two loop course starting from Little Bowbrook, Hartlebury; the terrain is mainly tarmac, generally on footpath, and flat. All the races are open for single day entry and you can further choose between three distances - marathon, half marathon or 10k. 30 October - 5 November.

The Broadway Marathon and Half Marathon offer runners the opportunity to challenge themselves and each other amid the stunning scenery of the northern Cotswolds. Starting and finishing in scenic Broadway village, the route follows trails and roads among picturesque villages, woodlands, and, most importantly, hills. The majority of the course is trail or unpaved track. A few minor road sections are included where necessary. The route will be marked, with marshals at a few key points along the way.
