The Recreation Ground, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 7LS, United Kingdom
The Shakespeare Marathon & Half Marathon (Presented by Nuun) is a RunThrough-organised road race held in Stratford-upon-Avon on Sunday 26 April 2026. The event features two distances: a half marathon completed as a single 21.0975 km lap and a marathon run as two laps of the same 21.0975 km circuit. Both races start in Stratford-upon-Avon town centre and finish at The Recreation Ground, providing a clear start/finish village and spectator area. The course passes local landmarks and villages and makes use of the Stratford Greenway for parts of the route.
The organisers describe the route as predominantly road-closed, flat and fast, making it suitable for runners seeking a personal-best performance while enjoying a scenic town and countryside setting. The event includes chip timing, a themed finisher medal and official event photography, and is supported by marshals and an event village to service participants and spectators. RunThrough and local partners present logistics information, route maps and participant guidance to help runners prepare for race day.
