Organised by Run For All, the Coventry Half Marathon takes runners on a scenic single-lap course that begins at Gosford Street, threads through Coventry’s city centre, ventures out into the Warwickshire countryside, and finishes in a dramatic setting by Coventry Cathedral. The course is mostly flat, making it accessible to beginners and attractive to seasoned runners pursuing a personal best, all set against a backdrop of Gothic architecture and supportive local crowds. Participants enjoy features such as chip timing, a bespoke finisher medal, a goody bag, and access to an Event Village at University Square, providing post-race treats, entertainment, and a vibrant communal atmosphere. The 2026 race is scheduled for 19 April 2026, with the start on Gosford Street and the finish at Coventry Cathedral.
