About This Event

The Cotswold Way Century returns on Saturday 19 September 2026, presenting a formidable 102-mile non-stop trail race from Chipping Campden to Bath along the Cotswold Way National Trail. Competitors will set off from Chipping Campden School, tasked with covering the entire length of this historic route in a single, sustained effort. This event truly tests human endurance, demanding resilience across a diverse landscape that weaves through ancient market towns and sweeping open countryside. Runners, their support crews, and spectators will converge to witness the profound physical and mental battle that unfolds over many arduous hours. The challenge is as much about navigating the undulating terrain as it is about personal fortitude, with every mile demanding focus and determination. For those drawn to such a test, full entry details and comprehensive information regarding logistics, cut-off times, and mandatory kit can be found on the organisers’ official website.
