Very well run and the course was very good with lots of challenging hills and especially nice as it was in the countryside. I would recommend this event to anyone even a first timer as it was a good all-round course.

Organiser's description
RUN THE RUGBY HALF ON SUNDAY 1ST OCTOBER 2023
We are excited to announce the return of the Rugby Half Marathon.
Through the disused Great Central railway and the closed town and country roads of Britain’s railway centre, this is the half marathon you can’t afford to miss.
Starting at Hart Field, you’ll quickly find yourself out on clear country roads and flying around to return to the town centre on ‘a linear nature reserve’ – the old railway line that is now a recognised wildlife hotspot.
With a unique medal, post-event goodies and some local support, the Rugby Half is becoming a major fixture in the local calendar – don’t miss out!
*PLEASE NOTE: DUE TO ROAD CLOSURES THERE IS A STRICT 3 HOUR CUT OFF TIME FOR THE HALF MARATHON!
YOUR ENTRY WILL INCLUDE:
Chip timed results
Unique themed medal
Free official event photos
Post race goodies
Come and enjoy the day with us; we hope to see you there!
