Organiser's Description

Warwickshire's best kept secret for road runners, Draycote Water offers smooth, flat roads with stunning reservoir and countryside views.

Running alongside the Water, using dam wall pathways and a perimeter service road, you'll find mesmerising views of nature trails, wildlife and boats on the water as you notch up mile after mile. Some short inclines and downhill stretches keep the landscape changing around you, so you'll not get tired of your surroundings, even as you dig in to the later stages of a race towards a glorious home straight.

This secluded site is gloriously peaceful and breathtaking in all seasons. Get yourself out of the city and discover Draycote Water.

Decently organised event. The event was organised decently, however there could have been more water stations and the mile markers could be marked more clearly along the way. The results are not out which is kind of going back on what the organizers committed to, which should be kept in mind next time .

A well organised race. I enjoyed the race although didn't achieve the time I was after but that was due to my poor race management! Will return to do another run.
