The course

This year's AEPG Great Eastern Run route has been improved following feedback from runners and key organising partners. This route gives spectators better views as well as runners a chance to improve on their previous personal best times and ensures that 100% of the route is based on roads / tarmac. The route takes runners through a section of the city centre, one of the unique aspects of the course, along with passing through the grounds of Peterborough Cathedral. Please note that we are operating a cutoff of 3 hours 30 minutes for the Half Marathon and 1 hour for the 5K to ensure we can reopen all roads on time. Total climb = 65 metres - average of 3 metres per KM
