Welcome to Race to the Tower

Beautiful climbs and unforgettable times

If you’re looking for a unique running, jogging or walking experience, you’ve come to the right place! Our 52.4-mile route and its unbelievable views are guaranteed to take your breath away as you attempt to conquer the stunning climbs of the Cotswold Way.

Starting just outside of Stroud in a field 248 metres above sea level, you will be faced with a combination of gentle and steep ascents up the likes of Crickley Hill and Cleeve Hill. But don’t worry, the incredible views will keep you energised and make it all worthwhile!

We’ve also got the best support package in place to help you every single step of the way. Our regular pitstops, all manned by our friendly event crew, are laden with delicious snacks and drinks. If you need medical advice or assistance, our experienced and approachable medics are on hand to help. While our clear signage will ensure you never get lost.

We’ll do our absolute best to get you all the way to the breath-taking finish line at Broadway Tower. All you need to decide; take it on in one go or split it across two days and stay for the weekend?
