Bath Spa Station Manager Todd Graham said:
“The Bath Half is one of the most beautiful city centre marathons on the running calendar, starting in Great Pulteney Street, and it is great to see it prove ever popular.
“While our friendly and approachable staff will be on hand to help keep people moving as people return to the station, I would urge customers to allow time for their journeys, as a queuing system may be needed to allow passengers to board trains in safety.”
The race starts at Great Pulteney Street, in the heart of the World Heritage City at 11am.
