Green Park Reading Half Marathon
The Green Park Reading Half Marathon is a long-standing event on the UK running calendar, having first been held in 1983. The race features a course that traverses the centre of Reading and includes the grounds of the University of Reading campus. Participants finish the event in a setting that mirrors an Olympic stadium atmosphere, with a large crowd gathered to support the runners.
The event offers several participation options:
- Half Marathon
- Mini Marathon
- Hilton Reading Corporate Challenge
The half marathon is recognized as a fast course, starting originally with 5,000 runners and growing into a flagship event for the region. On race day, approximately 15,000 spectators line the streets to provide support throughout the route.
Facilities and services provided for the event include a dedicated Race Village, pace runners to assist with timing goals, and official photography services. Medical support, including physiotherapy and massage sessions, is also available for participants. The event is licensed by England Athletics and UKA. For those traveling to the venue, specific travel and accommodation information is provided by the organizers, along with a race guide for all registered participants.
