Leamington Half Marathon takes place in June: Details including road closures
The eagerly anticipated Leamington Half Marathon is back for its ninth year on Sunday June 7.
Organised by Raceways Events CIC, for the first time the event will include a 15k race as well.
This is aimed at runners who are building up to the half marathon distance.
This year, the race is raising funds for Safeline, a specialist Warwickshire charity dedicated to preventing sexual abuse and supporting those affected.
Participants can opt to enter the race for free by pledging to raise £100 for Safeline.
Additionally, a portion of all race profits will be donated to the charity.
The event also includes a free Kids Mile Fun Run, starting and finishing beside the adult race line, allowing young runners to get involved.
