The Shakespeare Marathon 2027 is a two-lap loop through Warwickshire villages and the Avon Greenway in Stratford-upon-Avon, starting on Wood Street and finishing at the riverside Recreation Ground. The course is undulating with a total elevation gain of about 190m, and the marathon runs two laps, with a notable hill near 8 miles that repeats near 18 miles.

Why attend here

Running through the Warwickshire countryside in late April, you'll pass village greens and along the traffic-free Greenway as spring blossoms unfold. Afterward, wander Stratford's Tudor streets, catch a play at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and toast your finish with a pint of local ale and a Warwickshire pork pie.
