Forest of Dean Autumn Half Marathon

The race course for the autumn half-marathon will run entirely on forest trails with no road crossings at all! The course will use a number of different trails compared with the spring course. The officially-measured half-marathon course (13 miles 192.5 yards) is run on way-marked trails laid out by the Forestry Commission. Special permission has been given to stage the race over this course.

The course starts and finishes at Speech House. The multi-terrain route will be fully signed and marshalled, and marked by yellow paint on the ground. Mile-markers are provided. The route generally uses well-maintained tracks; it will use a number of new trails and will be slightly hillier than the spring course.

The race will be led by lead cyclists.
