Welcome to Race to the Tower

Steep climbs and unforgettable times

If you’re looking to test your hill running, jogging or walking ability, you’ve come to the right place! The 52.4-mile route is guaranteed to challenge every muscle in your body 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’ll be with you every step of the way,  ensuring you never go hungry or thirsty with our regular Pitstops, all manned by our friendly and highly approachable event crew and medics.

We’ll do our absolute best to get you all the way to the breathtaking finish line at Broadway Tower. All you need to decide; take it on one go or split it into two days across the weekend?
