The Reading Half Marathon, officially known as the Green Park Reading Half Marathon, is one of the UK’s most celebrated running events. The event has grown into a major fixture on the national race calendar, attracting thousands of runners—from elite athletes to first-timers—and over 15,000 spectators each year.
Held annually in March, the race features a fast, flat, and scenic 13.1-mile course that winds through the heart of Reading, Berkshire. Starting at Green Park Business Park, the route passes through Whitley, the University of Reading campus, the Kennet River, and the town centre, before finishing in front of a roaring crowd at the Select Car Leasing Stadium, home of Reading FC.
To secure your charity place, you'll need to pay an entry fee of £40 and commit to raising a fundraising target of £250 (excluding Gift Aid).
Setting up a JustGiving fundraising page is quick and easy and all donations will come directly to us at Terrence Higgins Trust.
