GetPRO Bath Half overview
GetPRO Bath Half is a half marathon run through traffic free streets in the heart of Bath, the UK’s only World Heritage City. The race covers 13.1 miles and was first held in 1982; it sees thousands of participants each March.
The event is a large charity fundraiser in south west England and since 2000 more than £30 million has been raised for charity at the Bath Half. The programme also includes the GetPRO Bath Miles, a free event that takes place on Saturday 13 March and awards a souvenir medal to all participants.
The course features musical entertainment and spectator support, with four cheer buses and live bands providing music throughout the route. Acts listed include pop, jazz and blues sets, rock bands, musical theatre choir performances, and Samba and Reggae rhythms.
