Shakespeare Marathon & Half Marathon is organised by RunThrough in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. The established event brings together two classic road racing distances, with a route combining the historic market town and surrounding countryside.
Starting in Stratford-upon-Avon town centre, the course passes the racecourse before heading through Luddington and Welford-on-Avon. Runners return towards Stratford along the Greenway, a former railway route with a firm, compacted surface. Half Marathon participants complete one circuit before finishing at the Recreation Ground, while Marathon runners tackle two laps, with the second extending through Long Marston. The Marathon course features approximately 188 metres of elevation gain.
Both distances are chip timed, with marshals, distance markers and water stations approximately every 5K. Finishers receive a themed medal, refreshments and free official race photography. The Recreation Ground provides an event village with baggage storage, toilets and facilities for runners and spectators.
