The Vitality Reading Half Marathon 2017

This year's Vitality Reading Half Marathon saw more than 12,000 runners take on the prestigious race, with many surpassing their personal best race times as well as raising thousands of pounds for charitable causes and for the first time in the race’s history, a Guinness World Record was set.

Scott Forbes (pictured left) is a BA Pilot from Wokingham, who ran the whole race in a blue three piece suit in a time of 1.18.13 breaking the Guinness World Record for the 'Fastest Half Marathon in a Suit'. Scott commented: "I'm absolutely ecstatic that I've managed to beat the world record, it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I was so hot and it felt like I was running through mud - I'm just glad it's over and it was all worth it!"

So whether it's a world record, a PB or challenging yourself to run your first Half Marathon, the 2017 Vitality Reading Half Marathon is the perfect setting for you to achieve your goal.
