Shakespeare Marathon & Half Marathon April 2025

Come and join us for the return of the Shakespeare Marathon and Half Marathon on Sunday 27th April 2025 in support of The Shakespeare Hospice!

Join us for this well established road closed Marathon and Half Marathon around Stratford-upon-avon. RunThrough have partnered up with Stratford Rotary Club  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 (Previous design pictured)

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

Please note there is a 6hr cut off on this race due to road closures in place.
