Date: 27th Apr 2025
Minimum Age: 15
Wood St, Stratford-upon-Avon
This flat and fast route, follows 1 lap for the half marathon and 2 laps for the marathon. The majority of the route follows closed roads around the town, with the remainder on the Stratford Greenway footpath, a hard compact footpath, ideal for pb racing!
The route heads from the town centre, past the racecourse, into Luddington & Welford-on-Avon before joining the Stratford Greenway back into Stratford-upon-Avon. The half marathon will head into the Recreation Ground from there. The marathon will complete a 2nd, extended loop, which also heads through Long Marston, before returning to the Recreation Ground for the finish.
Gambling with Lives was set up in 2018 by the families and friends of people who had taken their own lives as a direct result of gambling. We work to support bereaved people, raise awareness of the devastating effects of gambling disorder, and prevent gambling harm and suicide.
