Take on one of the UK’s best-loved half marathons and support people living with dementia
The Bath Half Marathon is one of the UK’s most established and popular half marathon events, known for its fantastic atmosphere, scenic route and strong local support. Taking place in the beautiful city of Bath, the largely flat course makes it a great choice for both first-time half marathon runners and those aiming for a personal best. The race starts and ends in Royal Victoria Park, and is enjoyed for being flat and fast, following the River Avon in a stunning circular route.
