The Cheltenham Challenge is open to all ages and offers the opportunity to take part in multi-terrain 5k, 10k, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or Ultimate events around Cheltenham. Whether you are an experienced runner or just fancy a stroll through scenic countryside whilst raising money for your favourite charity, we can offer an event to suit you.
Each event starts and finishes at Cheltenham Racecourse and makes use of public footpaths passing through attractive countryside with fine views. There are stiles, kissing gates, bridges, streams and some road crossings to negotiate. High visibility signage and route marshals will be in place on the day of the Challenge to ensure you can find your way around the course in safety. Please note that there will be no road closures and marshals are not permitted to stop traffic.
All routes and the start / finish line may be subject to change due to local factors out of our control. Any significant changes will be notified through the website and by email to registered participants.
We ask all participants to respect the countryside and the farmland through which they are passing by adhering to the Countryside Code – click here for details.
