Join Team Shelter for the Bath Half Marathon 2026 and run through the heart of this picturesque city.
Experience the UK's only World Heritage city from a new perspective on a closed-road route. Starting and finishing in Royal Victoria Park, the fast and flat two-lap course straddles both sides of the River Avon.
Bath's history and culture guarantee unique sights at every turn. Immerse yourself in the filming location for Bridgerton, Les Miserables, Poldark and Persuasion!
With a Shelter charity place, you'll be joining the fight to end the housing emergency.
You must be at least 17 years old to run the Bath Half Marathon.

Join our fight for home
When you run a half marathon for Shelter, every pound you raise helps to make housing justice a reality.
Our expert advisers support people facing homelessness or unsafe housing. Thanks to fundraisers like you, last year we:
supported 15,975 households through our emergency helpline
held 15,577 conversations on our webchat service
advised 12,203 households who visited our local hubs
We stand with renters facing eviction. We defend the rights of families trapped in temporary accommodation. And we work to dismantle systemic racism in the housing sector.
Fundraising for Shelter
We recommend you start by setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. You can also organise an event such as a bake sale or quiz. See our fundraising resources for more inspiration.
Please make sure you’re confident in reaching the fundraising pledge before you sign up. We invest in places at charity events and need to raise as much as possible for our fight against housing injustice.
Our friendly Events team are on hand to support you with your fundraising. If you have a question or want to talk through ideas, email running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
