IN LESS than 100 days, runners from across the county will be preparing to run the much-loved Reading Half Marathon.

Despite having to put the 13.1 mile run on hold last year due to coronavirus restrictions, the race is set to be in full swing this year, taking place on Sunday, November 7.

Judith Manson, Race Director says: “There is no community quite like the running community.

"We cannot wait to be back together on race weekend this November - to not only celebrate our strength in overcoming one of the most challenging and unsettling times we’ve faced, but the incredible effort of our runners to continue their training and charity fundraising through the pandemic.

“We want to thank all our runners and partners for their continued support and solidarity.
