About the Shakespeare Marathon

The Rotary-organized event combines marathon and half-marathon fields in Shakespeare's hometown. Marathoners continue for a second rural circuit.

Course

The road route leaves central Stratford for surrounding villages and country lanes. Marathoners repeat the principal loop, where gradual climbs become more costly late.

Race-day weather

Late April is often cool but may bring rain, wind, or warm sun. Rural sections are exposed, while town streets can feel sheltered and busier.
