Windsor Half Marathon

The Windsor Half Marathon is one of Britain’s longest-running and most distinctive half marathons, staged each September in the spectacular surroundings of Windsor Great Park in Windsor, Berkshire, England, United Kingdom. First held in the early 1980s, the race has developed into a major fixture on the British autumn running calendar, attracting thousands of runners to a course distinguished as much by its royal setting as by its challenging terrain. The official event describes it as an annual race held on the last Sunday in September.

The defining feature of the Windsor Half Marathon is its location. Both the start and finish are on the famous Long Walk in Windsor Great Park, with Windsor Castle providing an extraordinary backdrop. The entire course is run on paved roads within the park and is effectively traffic-free for the race. Parts of the route cross Crown Estate property that is normally closed to the general public, giving participants an opportunity to run through sections of the estate that cannot ordinarily be used for training.
