About the race
The GetPRO Bath Half is a timed road race through traffic-free streets in the centre of Bath, the UK’s only World Heritage City. The half marathon covers 13.1 miles and the course is described as fast and flat. The Start Line is at Royal Victoria Park.
The Bath Half was first held in 1982 and, since 2000, the event has raised more than £30 million for charity; it is the largest charity fundraising event in south-west England. Race services for participants include event photography, timed results, a tracking app and Wessex Water and HIGH5 Energy Gel Aqua on the course. Finishers can choose a T-shirt and medal; the finish area may offer GetPRO and Goram IPA Zero. Organisers offer an option to plant a tree with Avon Needs Trees and a free trial with the official training app Coopah. A separate GetPRO Bath Miles event is free to enter and all Bath Miles participants receive a souvenir medal; it is scheduled on a day before the half marathon. Facilities at the event include a free bag drop, toilets including accessible toilets, drinks stations serving cupped water and gel aqua, mile and kilometre markers, a free Runners' Village, Sensory Calm Space, Parent and Child Space, a Multi Faith Prayer Space, basic sanitary supplies, and bike parking on a first-come, first-served basis.
