Overview

Come and join us for the return of the Shakespeare Marathon & Half Marathon on Sunday 27th April 2025!

Join us for this well-established 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!

This flat and fast route follows one lap for the half marathon and two laps for the marathon. The majority of the route follows closed roads around the town, 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.
