Reading Half Marathon

Fast and flat Half Marathon, which starts and finishes at the magnificent Madejski Stadium. Full road closures and fantastic crowd support make this the perfect race for new runners right through to world class athletes. The event also incorporates the GreenPark Challenge (a 3.3km fun run) and the Osborne Clarke Business Challenge (relay event for local business teams).

Sweatshop took over organisation of the Reading Half Marathon in 2003 and have since introduced ChampionChip timing to the event and increased the number of entries to 16,000!
