Immerse yourself in the heart of England's historic city of Bath with the Two Tunnels Railway Race, an adventure that promises excitement and charm at every turn. This race series offers runners a variety of distances to suit all levels—from the 5 km sprint through picturesque scenery to the grueling marathon and even a 50 km ultra for those who seek ultimate challenge. The centerpiece attraction is running through two historic railway tunnels: the Combe Down Tunnel, stretching an impressive 1.6 kilometers in length, and the stylish Devonshire Tunnel at 408 meters.

Beyond the tunnels lies more captivating scenery—crossing the Tucking Mill Viaduct, strolling through Sydney Gardens, and marveling at the architectural wonder that is Pulteney Bridge. The route also takes runners alongside the tranquil Kennet and Avon Canal, providing a serene contrast to the underground adventure of the tunnels. For those who want more than just a race experience, Bath itself offers an array of attractions once you've crossed the finish line. Discover The Circus, a circular square adorned with Georgian architecture, or delve into local history at the Jane Austen Museum and Fashion Museum. Nature enthusiasts can climb to Alexandra Park for stunning panoramic views over the city.
