Tewkesbury Half Marathon 2027

The Tewkesbury Half Marathon is a closed-road half marathon in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, beginning at 9:00am from Tewkesbury Leisure Centre. It is a town-based road race, with traffic-free running through Tewkesbury’s historic streets rather than an out-and-back on open country roads. The route goes through the town centre, passes Tewkesbury Abbey, and includes sections beside the River Severn before returning to a central finish. The main appeal is simple: a straightforward half marathon distance on closed roads, with the abbey, old streets, and riverside stretches providing runners clear local landmarks along the way.
