Event overview

Join us for this well established road closed Marathon and Half Marathon around Stratford-upon-avon. This year RunThrough have partnered up with Stratford Rotary Club to bring this event back to the town and surrounding area! The new and improved, flat and fast route follows 1 lap for the half marathon and 2 laps for the marathon. The majority of the route follows closed roads, with the remainder on the Stratford Greenway footpath, a hard compact footpath, ideal for PB racing! The route heads from the town centre, past the racecourse, into Luddington & Welford-on-Avon before joining the Stratford Greenway back into Stratford-upon-Avon. The half marathon will head into the Recreation Ground from there. The marathon will complete a 2nd, extended loop, which also heads through Long Marston, before returning to the Recreation Ground for the finish.

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.
