2027 Worcester Marathon

Run through Worcester's storied streets, where the cathedral's shadow and the Commandery's civil war tales set a solemn, inspiring backdrop. After the 42k, stretch your legs along the River Severn's towpath or wander the Royal Porcelain museum, then warm up with a hearty Herefordshire beef pie and a pint of local ale in a half-timbered pub—May's mild, blooming weather makes the post-race exploration a genuine pleasure.
