Did the Half Marathon in 2019
This was my first year doing this and the course was really good, just enough the right amount of hills.....some would say too many! The atmosphere was amazing throughout the course and a special mention to all marshals! Organisation was brilliant too, although I would say that next year you have 3x the amount of loos.... having 11 toilets for over 1000 runners, means a very very very long queue.L

I absolutely loved this event! The organisation was spot on, from receiving my race back in plenty of time to the huge number of marshalls on hand to help out.
The route was beautiful and the crowd support incredible, even with the early start. The medal and t-shirt were great colours and an original design. There was a party like atmosphere at the finish and all runners were included in the hero’s welcome at the finish line.
It’s now my favourite half marathon and - I’ve done quite a few.Did the Half Marathon in 2019
A really well organised event, the race village was great, music, food, ice cream van 😀Went off dot on time. The route was hilly but the marshals and the support from the locals was great. Amazing medal also great t-shirt and goody bag, will definitely return next year.K

Fantastic course, location and atmosphere. Really a lot of fun, with a perfect mix of urban, suburban and rural parts of the course. There’s just the right mix of ups and downs - nothing to steep but perfect to add variety. Town is very welcoming of runners, and there’s lots of support all throughout the course.K

Fantastic atmosphere and course was almost perfect. It wasn’t a massive deal, but if we could avoid having to run back on ourselves and u-turn, that would be great. Other than that, I’ll almost certainly sign up for next year’s run.M

Course was all but 5 stars- the end coming through the Jephson Gardens and Victoria Park was picturesque but it was too windy, I would have preferred a straighter route to the finish line. Other than that, absolutely greatNeed more toilets, huge queue- urinals for the men!

Great course and atmosphere at the race village but needed a lot more direction when finishing to get to medal/water etc, it was so busy and didn’t know where to go! Lovely medal and T-shirt though, great support on last 2 miles into LeamingtonDid the Half Marathon in 2019
Ran the Leamington Spa Half Marathon with my daughter. It was undulating but the long, downhill stretches more than made up for this! The water stations were plentiful, start and finish were very well organised. Loved the elephant design medal and bright orange T Shirt (great fit too). Very well supported Ali g the route. Even a supporter asked for a selfie photo!
Definitely worth a 2 hour drive to Leamington.
Absolutely loved it.P

Mandy MDid the Half Marathon in 2019
Living in Leamington I couldn’t miss the opportunity to run my most local half and I wasn’t disappointed! Fabulous organisation, clear marshalling and road blocks. Plenty of notice to local traffic of impending road closures in the week before the run. An undulating, interesting course with plenty of well managed water and gel stations ending with a fabulous medal and goody bag... will definitely be back next year, thank you 🙂
