Cotswold Way - Other Recreational Use

Other Recreational Use

• Besides being popular with walkers, the Cotswold Way is presently run annually as a 10-stage relay (the Cotswold Way Relay) from north to south, usually in late June or early July. The winning team typically takes an aggregate time of about 12 hours. It is run under Fell Runners' Association rules and organised by City of Bath Athletic Club. It is traditional for the first leg to start from St James Church, Chipping Campden promptly at 7am. The lead runners finish the final leg outside the doors of Bath Abbey at about 6pm.

• The current official record for running the Costwold Way is held by Darryl Carter of Teddington, Middlesex who on 22 July 2012 ran from Bath to Chipping Camden in 20 hours and 36 minutes.
