Cotswold Way Century

Cotswold Way Century

The Cotswold Way Century is a single stage, non stop trail running event of approximately 102 miles held from Chipping Campden to Bath along the Cotswold Way National Trail. It takes place on public rights of way and follows the existing Cotswold Way waymarks; occasional additional markings may be used near checkpoints or where the route has more than one option. Changing conditions may require official diversions that alter the overall distance.

The route is very hilly and includes short road sections, hard stone tracks, green and grassy paths, and ploughed fields. There are no road closures, so participants and supporters must observe road regulations on sections that are not on trails. The event includes intermediate cut offs and allows 32 hours to complete the course.

Race entry includes a race number, live open tracking, the full GPX route, food stations and support throughout the course, and medical support. Finishers receive a buckle and there are Sub 24 buckles. Participants may purchase a technical t shirt or hoodie and professional race photos. Optional XCover insurance is available for purchase to cover unforeseen withdrawal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
