The Bath Beat

The Bath Beat is a walking and running event held on the southeastern edge of Bath, England, offering distances of 12.5, 17, 21, and 26.5 miles. The course traverses the scenic countryside of the southern Cotswolds, including woods, hills, river valleys, farmland, and a historic disused canal. Participants pass several checkpoints stocked with homemade cakes, sandwiches, and on longer routes, hot food and drinks.

The event features a supportive atmosphere with volunteer aid, recovery options, and medals for finishers. The longest route visits charming villages such as Bathford and Norton St Philip, providing a memorable experience with beautiful views and well-organized logistics.
