Shakespeare Marathon

Shakespeare Marathon & Half Marathon, held in Stratford-upon-Avon, is organized by RunThrough and supported by The Shakespeare Hospice, with Nuun as presenter. The closed-road course is flat and fast, ideal for PB attempts, with one lap for the half and two laps for the marathon. The route travels from the town centre past the racecourse, through Luddington and Welford-on-Avon, then along the Stratford Greenway back to Stratford.

The half finishes in The Recreation Ground, while the marathon completes a second extended loop via Long Marston before finishing there. The event features chip timing, official photos, a lively village, and sustainability-minded operations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
