Draycote Water March Half Marathon

Kites Hardwick, Rugby, Warwickshire

Draycote Water Sailing Club, Kites Hardwick, Rugby, UK

Sun 10th March 2019

Starting at 10:45

Organiser's Description

Warwickshire's best kept secret for road runners, Draycote Water offers smooth, flat road 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 kilometre after kilometre. 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.

You'll feel amazing energy from your fellow runners as you make your way around the Water towards a glorious home straight, where we'll be waiting with a finishers' medal, goody bag and a souvenir item of training kit - anything from a technical t-shirt to cold weather headgear.

Situated three miles south of Rugby and less than 15 minutes from the M1, this secluded site is gloriously peaceful and breathtaking in all seasons. Get yourself out of the city and discover Draycote Water - enter online to guarantee your place.

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.

Very windy. I did enjoy the race shame about the wind but it’s England so it can’t be helped some of the marshals look liked they really did not want to be there and showed no encouragement but the lady behind the cafe was great
