Cotswold Half Way

Cotswold Half Way

The Cotswold Half Way is a single-stage trail running event of approximately 47 miles along the Cotswold Way National Trail. The route runs from Chipping Campden to Painswick and follows public rights of way. The course includes many hills, some road sections, hard stone tracks, grassy paths and ploughed fields. Official diversions may be used if conditions change. Participants must complete the course within 15 hours and there are intermediate cut-offs along the route. There are no road closures on non-trail sections, so normal road regulations apply.
