Tewkesbury Half Marathon

The Tewkesbury Half Marathon returns to the historic riverside town of Tewkesbury on 12 April 2026, offering a scenic closed-road running experience. The route weaves through charming streets and waterside sections between the River Severn and the River Avon, passing notable landmarks including the magnificent Tewkesbury Abbey. The event is presented as suitable for runners chasing a personal best as well as those wishing to enjoy the atmosphere of a heritage town on race day. The race is described in local announcements as a traffic-managed, predominantly flat course with a mixture of town-centre and more open suburban sections.

The race is reported to start on Gloucester Road near Tewkesbury Leisure Centre, with a wide, traffic-managed start area and a race village close to the finish. The final stretch returns along the High Street, providing multiple spectator viewing points and a town-centre finish near the start area. Organiser and detailed logistical information (start time, race-day services, entries and kit lists) should be confirmed with the event organisers or the official event page as the public announcement does not list those specifics. Participants are advised to check the organiser's communications for definitive race-day instructions and registration details.
