Overview
The course blends historic charm, scenic countryside, and an unforgettable race-day atmosphere. This isn’t just another run; it's a premium running experience through one of England’s most beautiful market towns.
Description
Your race day begins in the heart of the Cotswolds, beneath the striking façade of the Church of St John the Baptist — one of England’s largest and most beautiful parish churches.
From here, runners will make their way down London Road, followed by an out-and-back section along Beeches Road and Victoria Road. The route then winds through Lewis Lane and Sheep Street, passing the historic Bathurst Estate before continuing onto Gloucester Road.
Soon, you’ll reach the picturesque village of Daglingworth via Overley Road, where another short out-and-back stretch awaits. From there, the course enters the magnificent Bathurst Estate, offering scenic parkland running before returning to the bustling Cirencester town centre. Here, cheering crowds will be waiting to welcome you across the finish line.
