Race Guide
Wye Valley Tunnel Run - Half Marathon
Date / Time
Length
13.10 miles (21.1 km)
Description
We have two half marathon routes to choose from;
Valley View Half Marathon Ticket: A 2 lap course. This is an out and back route, predominantly on the old railway line so it is lovely and flat and benefits from a lot of tree shading which is great on a warm day. This route has 4km in the tunnel which comes mid way on each length of the route. The route is predominantly flat.
Tintern Station Half Marathon Ticket: A 1 lap course which takes you through the Valley View route areas and beyond. This is a largely very flat route, with a 50m rocky climb and few sections of steps as the route transitions from one flat area to another. The route is essentially out and back route following the railway line all the way from Sedbury on the outskirts of Chepstow, all the way to Tintern Station where there is a looped section. This route has 2km in the tunnel, lots of running along the riverside trails and has a turnaround point at Tintern Old Station with a feast station stop along the old platform. The route is predominantly very flat being based on old railway trails and river side paths.
