Take on the challenge in 2027
The Devizes Half Marathon has been a multiple award winning event since its resurrection in 2012. Located in the charming historic market town of Devizes, which lies at the very heart of Wiltshire. Founded in Norman times at the boundaries (the Latin 'ad Divisas') of surrounding villages, the town grew up around the castle. The outline of the town walls shows in the 'D' shape of the centre which retains its medieval street plan. The town is compact and, being on the level, easy to walk round. Some buildings survive from the 16thC including the renowned hat shop in St John's Alley. The undulating course should not deter as this is a proven personal best course with respectable course records for both men and women, this scenic half marathon is truly inspirational.
