The Worcester Marathon, Half Marathon & 10K returns for its 14th edition on Sunday 17 May 2026, and with the 2025 event selling out completely, places have never been more sought-after. Organised by Tempo Events and based at Worcester RFC, Offerton Lane, the event takes runners through some of the most beautiful rural lanes in Worcestershire — pear orchards, open fields, hawthorn hedgerows and River Severn valley views. The Full Marathon covers two laps of the scenic loop; the Half follows the same route for the first lap before splitting off after 11 miles to head back to the finish. Charity partner: St Richard's Hospice.
"Quiet rural lanes, Worcestershire hedgerows in full May bloom, the cathedral appearing on the horizon — Worcester Marathon is the kind of race that makes you remember why you started running. Proper countryside, proper atmosphere."
Full Marathon (9:30 AM): Two laps of a rural loop around beautiful Worcestershire countryside lanes. Second lap includes a small additional section.
Half Marathon (9:30 AM): One lap of the same rural loop → splits from the Full just after 11 miles → heads back directly to the finish at Worcester RFC.
10K (10:00 AM): Separate start at 10:00 AM · all finish at Worcester Rugby Club (Race HQ). May: rolling countryside, hedgerows, cool morning temperatures.
