Cotswold Way Century
Chipping Campden, United Kingdom • 19-20 Sep 2026
Cotswold Way Century
The Cotswold Way Century is a single-stage trail running event of approximately 102 miles from Chipping Campden to Bath along the Cotswold Way National Trail. The route follows public rights of way and uses the existing Cotswold Way markers (acorn) for guidance. There are hard stone tracks, grassy paths, ploughed fields, some road sections, and significant hilly terrain. There are no road closures on the route, so participants and supporters must follow normal road regulations where the course uses roads. Official diversions may be used that alter the overall distance.
