Shakespeare Marathon

Stratford-upon-Avon CV37 7LS, UK | Sunday, 25th April, 2027
Join us for the Shakespeare Marathon & Half Marathon, a well established event in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon. With a predominantly road closed, PB-friendly course and a scenic route through the Warwickshire countryside, this is a fantastic choice for runners taking on either the Half Marathon or the full Marathon distance.
Starting in the town centre, the route heads past the racecourse before making its way through Luddington and Welford-on-Avon. Runners then join the Stratford Greenway, a hard compact footpath that offers smooth, consistent running conditions on the way back into Stratford-upon-Avon.
The Half Marathon follows one lap of this new and improved course before finishing in the Recreation Ground, delivering a rewarding route with a brilliant event atmosphere. Marathon runners will complete two laps, with the second loop extending through Long Marston before returning to the Recreation Ground for the finish.
Whether you are aiming for a personal best or simply want to enjoy a memorable race day in one of the UK’s most historic settings, the Shakespeare Marathon & Half Marathon promises a brilliant day of racing.
