  • Jade Beaumont: 01:58:34
  • Sara Juggins: 2:06:21

“Beautiful weather, lovely countryside and friendly marshals, especially the very energetic ones encouraging us up the hill! But very wet, muddy and slippery and felt harder than last year. I was well past my best at the end. I’d been longing to see the finish for several miles but when I finally got near it I didn’t see it and had to be called back as I headed off down the track away from it…!” – Sue

“My first ever trail race! Loved it and hated it all at the same time!” – Jade

“It was a really tough one mainly because of the muddy conditions” – Sara

Warwick Half Marathon

  • Alan Powderhill: 1:46:01 – PB!
  • Elliot Gardiner: 1:55:57
  • Linda Edwards: 2:11:53

“A brilliant start to 2025 races for me, so shocked to have achieved a PB by over 3 minutes. Lovely race conditions, the route was very undulating but I used the downhill sections the best I could. Brilliant to have the legends for company too. A good day all round.” – Alan

“Used this race as a training run in the marathon training plan while still returning to full fitness. The plan was to maintain 9 min miles or under, so I was very pleased with the pacing and improvement on last weekend’s race. Definitely feeling stronger again with the endurance. Quite a hilly course but I used the downhills to my advantage. Really nice route around the surrounding area of Warwick that started and finished at the racecourse, well organised and a decent medal! Plus well deserved beer & cake at the finish!” – Elliot

“This lovely scenic route starts and finishes at the racecourse. It is a hilly route that gains elevation up to around 8 miles then there is an undulating downhill with a nasty hill at mile 11. It is definitely not boring and a great training run. It was well organised and a large medal to finish. I really liked the route and the challenge it brought.” – Linda
