The Wigley Group Warwick Half Marathon will take place from Warwick Racecourse on Sunday March 1st 2020.
The route has been altered slightly for 2020, to move the start slightly further away from the racecourse to allow the finish line to be bought into the racecourse concourse in front of the main grandstand. Who would like a grandstand finish? The route heads out of the town through the lovely Warwickshire countryside providing athletes with an excellent opportunity to compete in an undulating, traffic free road race.
This run is suitable for runners of all abilities and wheelchair users. Medals are awarded for all participants.
This event is UKA affiliated, so you can count it towards your official times this running season.
Venue facilities include –
- Registration & Bag Drop
- Chip timing
- Water stations
- Catering
- Toilets
- Equipment shop
- Wheelchair accessibility
- Massage (for a small donation)
- Event photography from Photo-fit
- Car parking
Free Beer! All runners* get a free ½ pint of refreshing Hooky Gold at the finish line courtesy of Hook Norton Brewery.
*Only available to customers over the age of 18. Proof of age may be required. Subject to availability.
