Cotswold Way Century

Cotswold Way Century

The Cotswold Way Century is a single stage trail running event of approximately 102 miles along the Cotswold Way National Trail, running from Chipping Campden to Bath. The route follows public rights of way and may include official diversions that change the overall distance.

Participants must complete the course within 32 hours, with intermediate cut-offs at specified locations. The route is very hilly and includes a mix of road sections, hard stone tracks, green and grassy paths, and ploughed fields. Route guidance relies on the existing Cotswold Way markers, with occasional additional markings near checkpoints or where route options exist. Road sections remain open and normal road regulations apply on those parts.

Entry requirements include a minimum age of 21 on the event date. Entry provisions listed by the organiser include a race number, open live tracking, a full GPX route file, food stations and support along the course, medical support, and finishers and Sub 24 buckles. There are options to purchase a technical t-shirt, a hoodie, and professional photos. XCover insurance is available as an optional extra. The event is organised by Cotswold Trail Events and uses pre entry registration through the stated entry system. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
