First time doing this half marathon. The start was confusing, and not planned out well! The course is very hilly, support was ok, but seemed mostly aimed at the Kenilworth runners especially from their fellow club runners that were supporting the event, with also sweets offered to just them. The guy calling out people's names as you run to the finish was great gave you that last boost to push. Biggest disappointment was the finish—no medal at the end, just a banana, and I only received my medal about a month later after running that hilly route. Tough but enjoyable course; organization however could definitely improve.

The start was poorly managed with people getting confused as the road was signed for est finish times yet the organisers were shouting for everyone to move forward. I’d advise leaving these off next year and I feel people will be more willing to move forward as won’t feel like they’re getting caught up with faster runners out of their planned run speed. Secondly, the biggie, no medal. I appreciate this was out of their hand due to manufacturing issue however to run a hilly half and come away empty handed bar a banana is disappointing. Still waiting for an update on delivery of medal so we will see if this appears. Marshals on the course were great and great public support. I felt at the start snd finish they seemed uninterested which is a shame especially the end when you have that running high to be faced with a stones face.

What a great race that was. Lots of parking nearby, no toilet queues, decent support across the whole route, plenty of water stations. The course passes through beautiful countryside as well as the Kenilworth castle grounds. How cool is that? For a small scale event, I absolutely loved it. Oh, and a really nice medal this year.

Well organised with plenty of parking options and toilets available. The route passing through the Kenilworth castle was really nice. It was really hot but there were no water stations for 5k runners. The wooden medal was meh.

Great T-shirt but sizing not accurate. One of the best half marathons.

It was very well co-ordinated on race day and started bang on time - and the volunteers were all really lovely and helpful it was a very enjoyable race in that respect! Some sort of safety briefing / do's and don'ts for locals that would like to stand by outside their houses and spray participants down with hosepipes. As much as I really appreciated the hose down I had an incident with the last one less than a mile from the finish line in that a young child was holding the hosepipe and was aiming it straight at people's faces and as a consequence I ended up blinded for ~5 seconds and fell down onto the tarmac because I tripped over a pothole right by the hose pipe station that I obviously couldn't see. I am not at all saying it shouldn't be allowed, but as a result of someone's carelessness I have had to buy a new watch and replace the lens of the camera on my phone - both of which got destroyed upon impact of the fall. Not to mention the bloodied elbow and hand I got too. I just feel that if there was more emphasis on how hosing people down should be done safely - or at least that small children should not be allowed to do it maybe - then this never would have happened.

The km markers were a bit premature on the 5km. Otherwise really enjoyed!

Fab very supportive marshals. Very smooth registration process. Ive never been at a race without a toilet queues, having the option of the hotel loos and portable loos worked well. Super easy and close parking options! thank you Kenilworth Runners!

Excellent event organised by Kenilworth Runners. Quite a hilly course but passes through beautiful countryside as well as historic Kenilworth including the castle. Friendly marshals offer encouragement and a nice finish in the town centre. Not a PB course but always a great day
