Shakespeare Marathon & Half Marathon- April 2024
Come and join us for the return of the Shakespeare Marathon and Half Marathon on Sunday 21st April 2024!
Join us for this well established road closed Marathon and Half Marathon around Stratford-upon-avon. This year RunThrough have partnered up with Stratford Rotary Club and in support of Shakespeare Hospice Charity to bring this event back to the town and surrounding area!
This flat and fast route, follows 1 lap for the half marathon and 2 laps for the marathon. The majority of the route follows closed roads around the town, with the remainder on the Stratford Greenway footpath, a hard compact footpath, ideal for pb racing!
The route heads from the town centre, past the racecourse, into Luddington & Welford-on-Avon before joining the Stratford Greenway back into Stratford-upon-Avon. The half marathon will head into the Recreation Ground from there. The marathon will complete a 2nd, extended loop, which also heads through Long Marston, before returning to the Recreation Ground for the finish.
Included in your entry:
Unique venue themed medal (new design to be revealed!)
Chip timed results
Free official event photographs
Post race goodies and refreshments
Each mile will be accurately marked out and we have plenty of helpers to keep you quite literally on track and encourage you on your way to that finish line. Come and join us for a unique race you will not forget!
BOTH RACES WILL START AT 9:00AM
For more information, check out the race Website HERE
Please note there is a 6hr cut off on this race due to road closures in place.
Here at RunThrough we are always looking for likeminded people to join our community. We always value an extra pair of hands and would love for you to come along and help us! From managing stalls at the event village to handing out medals at the finish, our volunteers are a critical part of what make RunThrough events so special! If you fancy volunteering with us as a volunteer at his event or any of our other events please click HERE
After every race you’ll be able to grab a delicious pack of LOVE CORN.
If that’s not motivation to cross that finishing line, we don’t know what is in life and in snacks, it’s all about finding love in the little things.
LOVE CORN is delicious crunchy corn that makes lunchtimes more exciting, meetings go quicker and life a little bit better, one kernel at a time.
Whole corn kernels simply roasted off the cob and seasoned with the best ingredients to make the ultimate feel good snack.
50% less fat than crisps, high fibre, low sugar, gluten free and vegan.
