Cotswold Way Century

The Cotswold Way Century is an epic 102-mile trail running adventure from Chipping Campden to Bath, following the scenic Cotswold Way National Trail. Participants embark on this grueling journey at 11am sharp from the village hall in Chipping Campden and are given a generous 32-hour window to reach their destination.
The route is unmarked except for existing Cotswold Way signs, so runners must rely heavily on maps and navigation skills as they traverse public rights of way. The trail winds through rolling hills, offering breathtaking views from the peaks and charming vistas in quaint villages below. Road closures are not provided, meaning participants and their supporters must adhere strictly to traffic regulations during road sections.
The terrain varies dramatically, with stretches of hard stone tracks, lush green paths, and ploughed fields adding variety to the challenge. The hilly nature of the course ensures that runners will experience both exhilarating ascents and satisfying descents as they navigate through this picturesque landscape.
While the event is a solo affair, it fosters a sense of camaraderie among participants who share in the struggle and triumphs along the way. For those looking to secure their spot with peace of mind, XCover can be purchased at entry, providing an insurance policy against unforeseen circumstances that may prevent attendance.
