Tewkesbury Half Marathon

Lace up your running shoes and hit the streets of Tewkesbury, for what promises to be popular Tewkesbury Half Marathon and 5-Mile Fun Run this May 2010.

More than 1,000 people are expected to hit the town’s tarmac when the Tewkesbury Half Marathon and Fun Run takes place on Sunday 9 May 2010.

Organised again by 2:09 Events, the 13.1-mile Tewkesbury Half Marathon is described as a popular, traditional half-marathon run from the picturesque town.

The first few miles of the route are suburban and light industrial areas moving to towards the M5, followed by pleasant countryside and pretty villages before returning through the historic high street.

Runners competing can expect frequent water stations, distance markers every mile, changing facilities and on-site parking – as well as medals, winners’ prizes and goody bags.

Supporting the main event, a 5-mile fun run will also take place on the day – suitable for runners who might enjoy a less gruelling challenge.

Both events are open to members of the public, and to both men and women.

See below for details of entry fees – with donations being made to the Mayor of Tewkesbury’s charities and a number of other good causes.
