Kickstart your spring training in this Warwick Half Marathon.

Starting and finishing at Warwick Racecourse, the route will make its way through the rolling Warwickshire countryside and gives racers the opportunity to run on an undulating, traffic-free course.

Event merchandise is available for purchase during registration for collection at (or delivery prior to) the event, further details on which will be confirmed prior to the event.

Children must be aged 6 or over to participate in the Junior Race but buggies (or similar) are permitted for children aged 5 or under. Children under 11 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

The road closure schedule will be posted approximately 6 weeks prior to the event.

All of our events are organised following government and governing body COVID-19 guidance. We will continue to ensure that we deliver safe and enjoyable events.

Entry on the day will be subject to availability and a GBP 5 surcharge.

Event Details

Licensing

The Half Marathon is expected to be licensed with UK Athletics (UKA) and the results published by Run Britain shortly after the event.

Bib Numbers

Bib numbers are expected to be mailed to all participants who have registered with a valid UK address by midnight on the Sunday prior to the event. When a bib cannot be mailed due to an incomplete/invalid address - and in cases where it does not arrive - participants can collect a new/replacement bib at the event. Participants need not contact us with respect to non-receipt of their bib but should be prepared to show their booking confirmation on arrival if requested.

Results

Results will be uploaded live to our website (internet connection permitting) and communicated to all pre-registered participants within 24 hours of the event.

Rewards

All finishers will receive a medal on completing their event and, subject to a competitive field of participants, prizes may be available for the top three places overall - and the top place in each of the veteran categories (V40/V50/V60/V70) - for both females and males. Winners will be notified via email by the end of the following week where a presentation is not possible on the day, and once results are considered final. No prizes will be offered for the Junior Race.
