Course Route

The Aldi Ashby 20 begins on the historic Bath Grounds, where all runners gather before being guided to Upper Packington Road for a prompt 10:00 AM start. The route heads towards Packington, taking runners down Mill Street before joining the Measham Road, Packington and continuing anti-clockwise towards Measham.

​

From this point, the race becomes a two-lap challenge through the scenic Leicestershire countryside. The course winds its way towards Swepstone and Heather, before looping back via Normanton le Heath and returning to Packington. On the second lap, runners make their way back to Ashby, finishing where it all began – on the iconic Bath Grounds.

​

This 20-mile undulating route is a true test of endurance and preparation, making it a perfect event for those training for a spring marathon. Every finisher will receive the coveted Ashby 20 hoodie – a badge of pride for conquering one of the UK’s most respected long-distance races.​
