WOKINGHAM Half Marathon is ready to return after missing a year due to the pandemic.
Featuring a new route for 2022, the race will pass through the town centre for the first time since its inception in 1984.
Starting and finishing at Cantley House, the route will take runners south on Milton Road and into the town centre passing many familiar shops, bars and restaurants on their way.
The race will start with an initial 600 metre climb and then downhill until mile two where the route will pick up its regular course on Bell Foundry Lane.
As normal, the course will be run on closed roads under UK Athletics rules and is suitable for anyone completing their first half marathon to experienced runners seeking a new personal best.
Entries for the event on Sunday, February 27, are now full and those participating can expect the same fast, flat rural roads which have produced course records of 1.11.09 by Liz Yelling and 1.03.14 by Phil Wicks.
The event supports many good causes and community groups and in turn is supported by them with volunteers helping to marshal the route, manage the water stations and look after the race village.
Organisers advise runners to be at Cantley Park at least an hour before the 10am start to ensure all participants can be facilitated.
