A local councillor has questioned the scheduling of the Bath Half Marathon on “such a significant day in the calendar” after he faced a frustrating two-hour traffic ordeal trying to navigate through the city. On March 15, more than 12,500 runners took part in the annual Bath Half Marathon, weaving through the city’s streets. The men’s and women’s winners, Joe Wigfield and Alex Bell, completed the 13.1-mile route in impressive times of 62 and 69 minutes, respectively.
