Route information
Draycote Water must be Warwickshire's best kept secret for road runners, offering stunning reservoir and countryside views. Runners can enjoy running alongside the water, using the dam wall pathways and the perimeter service road. There will be wonderful views of nature trails, wildlife and boats out on the water.
The event will have a brilliant atmosphere created by your fellow runners and the wonderful marshals, especially as you head towards the glorious home straight, where the organising team will be waiting with a finisher medal and post-race refreshments.
The Route is generally flat with a few short inclines, entirely on tarmac paths, and consists of laps around the reservoir and is suitable for runners of all abilities.
What's included
  • Finisher's medal
  • Prizes for top finishers
  • Post-race refreshments
  • Well marked and marshalled course
  • Water stations
  • Chip-timed results
  • Toilets
  • Event photography
  • Medical cover

Well organised. Not too much waiting around. Nice views. Goody bag not as generous as they used to be. Regular course for me.

Really enjoyed the event. The only thing I did not realise was that there was no starting mat and everyone’s time went from the gun time, this was a bit of a disappointment, but apart from that, a great event

Disappointing. We were advised that because of chip timings we could start over a period of 15 minutes, but apparently only gun times were available. This was a PB for me, but the gun time added 2 minutes to my overall time. What's the point of a chip? There was a lack of atmosphere apart from the end where I was encouraged by a supporter that I could catch the runner ahead of me: So I did! Thanks to that man :-).

Shame we got there and there was no record of us booking in. Not until I showed them the email confirmation then they gave us a number. Put a bit of a dampener on it all. Nice route as always. Marshalls were kids and obviously didn’t want to be there - bless them. Medal was ok, mine said 20 mile, 10 mile, 10k, 5k etc and no tshirt which is a shame at £18 a place. Don’t think I’ll run this again, just seems a lot of money for not a lot really.

Arrived a little late (but well within the start window) hence the reduced atmosphere. Disappointed that the event wasn't chip-timed but gun timed. Decent route.
