Event overview

The GetPRO Bath Half is one of the UK’s most prestigious half marathons and is the largest charity fundraising event in south-west England. Since 2000, more than £30 million has been raised for charity at the Bath Half.

UK's only World Heritage City

You too can join this meaningful event and explore Britain's only World Heritage City by becoming a charity runner, ie, secure a charity place in return for raising funds for a charity.

What are charity places?

Charities buy places in this event, then give them to runners who agree to raise money for the charity – these are called charity places. Charity places are a great way to support a good cause and get a place in the event, especially if general entries are closed.

All places for last year's event sold out, but you can reserve your start-line position by choosing from the charities on this page.

Benefits of running for charity

Committing to raising money for charity gives you motivation to get outside and run, plus many extras which will elevate your event experience - see the Fundraising section.

The Bath Half and charity fundraising go hand-in-hand - which charity will you run for?

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
