The Bath Half Marathon is a 'big city' race, starting and finishing in Bath city centre. This course is fast and flat with proven potential to set a new personal best with spectators lining the course to cheer you on every step of the way.

As the official air ambulance Charity for Bath, our yellow and green helicopter can regularly be seen in the skies over the city.

Our airbase in Semington, near Trowbridge, is just four minutes’ flying time to the centre of Bath.
