   Two-Lap Rhythm

   The course is two laps, so use the early lap to learn turns and gentle inclines, then settle into steady pacing on the repeat.

   Crowds Both Laps

   Large crowds gather in the city center and along the River Avon; use their support and expect busier sections there.

In Bath

• Getting Around

  Bath's center is compact and walkable, but race day brings road closures near the course; plan to walk or use public transport.

• Spectator Spots

  Spectators can move between the city center and the river path to see runners at different points on the course.

• Recovery and Character

  After the race, a gentle walk along the River Avon or through Royal Victoria Park fits Bath's Georgian, relaxed feel.
