Spectator Guide

Essential info

Thank you for playing an integral role in making the Bath Half an unforgettable experience!

Your cheers and encouragement fuel the participants' spirits and create an electric atmosphere! 

To make your day as smooth as possible, please remember:

  • Navigate the crowds: It can get extremely busy, so plan ahead to find the best spots to cheer on your loved ones.
  • Meeting points: if you're meeting someone after they've finished, decide on a meeting point in advance.
  • Stay connected: don't rely solely on your phone, as reception might be patchy in congested areas. Have a backup plan to stay in touch.
