The Cheltenham Running Festival takes place at Cheltenham Racecourse, offering 5K, 10K and Half Marathon distances alongside a junior race. Set within one of Britain's most famous sporting venues, the event gives runners the opportunity to race around and within the grounds of the racecourse.

The course follows a flat 5K loop around the venue, combining predominantly tarmac surfaces with sections of gravel and softer ground. The 5K completes one lap, the 10K two laps and the Half Marathon four laps, creating a fast and accessible route suitable for runners of all abilities.

With views towards the Cotswold Hills and the unique setting of Cheltenham Racecourse, the event combines a scenic location with a well organised multi terrain course, making it a popular choice for runners targeting everything from a first race to a PB.
