Go the distance for Sue Ryder this September, running the Cheltenham Half Marathon or 10km race.

It's time to lace up your trainers — the Cheltenham Half Marathon and 10km is back for September 2025!

Whether you're looking to take on your first road race or beat your personal best, Run Cheltenham is an excellent choice for both newbie and regular runners, boasting a flat course with full road closures

This year, national healthcare charity Sue Ryder, which runs Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice near Cheltenham, is returning as headline charity partner for the event. 

Encompassing the Cheltenham Half Marathon and 10km, as well as the Move More Mile, the event attracts hundreds of runners of all abilities, making it a huge fundraiser for Sue Ryder to continue providing palliative care and bereavement support to families in need.

Participants can choose to take on the half marathon — following a 13.1-mile route through the Regency town centre, starting and finishing at Cheltenham Racecourse — or the 10km, which follows the first and last sections of the half. 

Meanwhile the Move More Mile takes place solely at Cheltenham Racecourse, offering a great introduction to racing that's suitable for all ages and abilities.

Sign up for a Sue Ryder place for a discounted entry fee and access to training plans and fundraising support. Anyone running in aid of the charity is asked to raise a minimum of £275 for the half marathon, £175 for the 10km and £25 for the Move More Mile.
