Two Tunnels Half Marathon

-

We love the idea of this event. It’s a race that’s run four times a year and the next edition is in July. It’s 13.1 miles through the Bath countrysid­e, but also features tunnel sections that comprise, say the organisers, the longest undergroun­d section of any race in the UK. The tunnels were part of the Somerset & Dorset Railway line, which closed in 1966. The Devonshire one is 408m long and the second, Combe Down Tunnel, measures 1,672m. Both are perfect for some subterrane­an overtaking. They’re well lit, so tunnel vision will not be an advantage. Bath, Avon, July 9, relishrunn­ingraces.com
