Gloucester Half Marathon Entry, Date & Race Guide

The Gloucester Half Marathon is part of the Gloucester Running Festival, offering a flat, fast 13.1-mile route through Gloucester and the surrounding countryside.

Starting and finishing within the festival event hub, the course heads out onto largely flat rural roads, making it a strong option for runners targeting a personal best or consistent pacing effort. The straightforward route profile and quieter sections allow for uninterrupted running, while the event atmosphere builds around the start and finish area.

As part of a multi-distance running festival, the event benefits from good organisation and a supportive race-day environment, attracting a mix of club runners and first-time half marathon participants. The accessible course and clear layout make it particularly appealing for those stepping up in distance or chasing a time goal.
