The Mini Marathon Race Begins 08.30am
A fun run which is estimated to be just under 3km and is open to all.

Chip timing will be used for all competitors, so everyone will get their position and race time.
The Green Park Reading Half Marathon Race Begins 10.15am
13.1 miles taking you through the highlights of the centre of Reading where you will experience huge crowd support and through the beautiful grounds of the University campus.
Both races culminate in a finish rarely found outside an Olympic stadium with over 10,000 people cheering you into the Reading Football Club Stadium and over the finish line.
