About the Reading Half Marathon course

Starting in the stunning surroundings of Green Park, Reading, the course is undulating rather than completely flat. The route will take you through the grounds of the University of Reading, under The Oracle and the historic Abbey Arch, and finishing on the half-way line inside the Reading Football Club Stadium.
