The Bath Half is a fast flat course, straddling both sides of the River Avon.
The race starts and finishes in Great Pulteney Street, which with its roadway spanning 46 feet (14 m) is one of the widest Georgian boulevards in Europe.
The first mile is gently downhill on Pulteney Road to Churchill Bridge, then the route follows two identical laps from Churchill Bridge, rising up past Green Park station, round Queen Square, then down Charlotte Street and westbound out of the city centre along the A4 road (Upper Bristol Road and Newbridge Road) to Newbridge and crossing the 'New Bridge' at the 'Twerton Fork' at the beginning of the dual carriageway.
From here the race heads eastbound on the A36 back towards the city centre, along Lower Bristol Road, before crossing over Churchill Bridge and up Green Park again for the beginning of the second lap.
At the end of the second lap the runners pass across Churchill Bridge, then up Pulteney Road to the finish back in Great Pulteney Street.

The course route is unchanged since minor modifications in 2006.
It was remeasured in 2006 by IAAF official course measurer Hugh Jones, describing the course as 'officially flat, with three undulations'.
The assembly area for the race is the Bath Recreation Ground.
