Cotswold Half Way
Chipping Campden, United Kingdom • 19-20 Sep 2026
Cotswold Half Way
The Cotswold Half Way is a single-stage trail running event of approximately 47 miles along the Cotswold Way National Trail, running from Chipping Campden to Painswick. The route follows public rights of way and is primarily marked by the existing Cotswold Way acorn markers, with occasional additional markings near checkpoints or where the route has alternate options.
The course is described as very hilly and includes a mix of road sections, hard stone tracks, grassy paths and ploughed fields. There are no road closures for the event, so participants and supporters must observe normal road regulations on sections that are on roads. Official diversions may be used and could alter the overall distance.
Participants are given 15 hours to complete the route, with intermediate cut-offs at specified points. The event provides a race number, live open tracking, the full GPX route, food stations and support along the course, and medical support. A finishers medal is provided. There are options to purchase a technical t-shirt, a hoodie, and professional photos after the race. XCover insurance is available to purchase as an added extra.
Entries open on 1 October 2025 and close on 1 September 2026. Minimum age to enter is 21 years. The event is organised by Cotswold Trail Events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
