Bath Two Tunnels Race 2026

If you dream of running an event that's more like a British adventure movie 🎬, a bit like James Bond 🕵️‍♂️, then head to Bath, a charming city nestled in England! 🇬🇧 Without further ado, we introduce you to the Two Tunnels Railway Race 🌆. Yes, you read that right, you're going to run in tunnels, a bit like playing Subway Surfer!

The event takes place several times a year and offers a range of formats: you can choose between 5 km, 10 km, Semi-Marathon, Marathon, and even a 50 km ultra for the truly passionate 😸. This last one is also available in duo and as a 5-person relay (the loop is 10 km to be completed 5 times) 💪. There's also the Colourburst 500m, an explosion of colors perfect for families, children, or adults who don’t want to grow up 🤪. The two tunnels you'll run through are: the Combe Down Tunnel, 1.6 km long, and the Devonshire Tunnel, shorter but just as stylish with its 408 meters! 🏃‍♀️ Combe Down, in particular, is one of the longest cycling tunnels in the UK, transformed into an immersive corridor for runners ⛏️. But you'll soon realize that you didn't come just for these two tunnels (even if they're great), there are other sights on the courses, including the Tucking Mill Viaduct, the Sydney Gardens, or the Pulteney Bridge, that bridge that looks like a building, with its little shops integrated! 🛤️ Not to mention the moments when you'll follow the Kennet and Avon Canal, a bit of nature does good too! 🌳

But don't think this adventure is just about a simple race. Once your medal is around your neck, that's when Bath comes into play in all its splendor. Because this city is a gem 🤩. You can discover The Circus, a circular square with Georgian buildings. Do you like museums? 📸 There's the Jane Austen Museum, to discover the universe of the most famous English novelist, and the Fashion Museum 👗, which traces the history of clothing from the 17th century to today. If you prefer nature, you can climb to the heights of Alexandra Park for a breathtaking view of the whole city 👀. And if you're the type to want to discover the somewhat alternative side of Bath, know that there are also many cafes where you can have "tea" English style! ☕

So there you have it, whether you're coming to break your personal best, or just for a little weekend getaway ⚡, the Two Tunnels Railway Race in Bath is the perfect opportunity to experience a unique moment! 🍀
