Accessibility Information

Please read the information below about taking part if you have a disability and/or require assistance on event day. 

Wheelchairs:

The Bath Half Marathon is a wheelchair accessible event. The event organisers allow wheelchair users to enter the event as a participant. They do not allow sporting wheelchairs on the course as it could cause an obstruction on the route. As it is a 2-lap race there are areas where it can get quite congested, and this item could potentially cause an injury to the other runners. However, they do allow self- propelling non-sporting wheelchairs if you have any questions please contact the fundraising team on 01462 476707 or fundraising@mstrust.org.uk

Support runners

Support/guide runners are guaranteed a free of charge entry in this race. Once registered you can contact the event organisers to arrange this. If you have any questions please contact the fundraising team on 01462 476707 or fundraising@mstrust.org.uk

Cut off time

The cut off time for the Bath Half Marathon is 4 hours. Runners who are still on the course after this time are asked to move to the pavements to allow the streets to reopen, but they are still able to collect their medal at the finish line, and access water stations which will remain open until the last runner has passed. The average time to walk a half marathon is 3.5 to 5 hours, so you will have time for walk breaks.
