The course

The course start and finishes along the Long Walk with the start being around 190 m further up the Long Walk to enable us to use the Windsor Half Marathon finish. The course itself is undulating and passes through some of the most beautiful countryside. There are two drink stations out on the course and also one at the finish. Along the course you will pass the Royal Lodge which was the Queen Mother’s residence, the Royal School and then at around 5.5 km you will pass the Statue of Queen Elizabeth II erected in celebration of her Golden Jubilee. It is then almost all downhill to the finish as you sweep onto the top of the Long Walk with Windsor Castle as the back drop.

Parking

The directions to the Car Park are clearly signposted by the AA and the Car Park is managed by CSP, a professional traffic management company. The car park itself is free and there are no other costs for entering the site. The Car Park only has 2 exits and both of these lead onto the very busy A322. We accommodate over 4000 cars on race days so consequently there are going to be delays in exiting. To try and alleviate the problems of previous years we are asking ALL runners to have their RACE NUMBER visible in the windscreen of their car on entrance to the car park. This will enable you to have priority parking which should make your exit a little fairer. However there WILL be delays so we are asking you to please exercise patience and not to abuse members of staff who will be doing their best to get you on your way. If you start queue jumping it will only cause anger amongst other drivers and will also result in you having to wait a great deal longer to exit. We will do our utmost to ensure that you leave the Great Park as quickly as possible but we need your help too!
