Green Park Reading Half Marathon
The Green Park Reading Half Marathon is a road race that runs through central Reading and the grounds of the University campus. The course is described as fast and scenic and passes city highlights as it progresses toward the finish area.
The event is a long‑standing fixture, first held in 1983 at Reading University with an initial field of about 5,000 runners. It now attracts thousands of entrants each year and features substantial spectator support along the route. The finish area regularly draws large crowds, with over 15,000 people reported cheering at the finish.
The race day includes more than one distance offering:
- Half Marathon
- Mini Marathon
The event materials reference a race village, travel and resident information, volunteer opportunities, and partnerships with local organisations and sponsors. Results, photo galleries, and event medals are published after the race. The listed date for the event is Sunday 21 March 2027. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
