Run Alton Towers Half Marathon & 5K is a road running event organised by RunThrough at Alton Towers Resort in Staffordshire. The event features two distances within the theme park, giving runners the opportunity to explore the resort on foot before enjoying its attractions after the race.
Both routes follow tarmac roads around Alton Towers, starting and finishing in front of The Towers. The Half Marathon includes challenging climbs and approximately 309 metres of elevation gain, while the 5K provides a shorter option for runners of different abilities. Clearly marked distance signs and marshals guide participants throughout the course, with chip timing providing accurate race results.
Race entry includes access to Alton Towers theme park, allowing participants to enjoy the rides after finishing. All runners receive a themed medal, free race photographs and post race refreshments, with bag drop facilities available. The combination of running and theme park attractions makes this a distinctive event for runners and families.
