The Warwick Half Marathon 2024 is just weeks away, with last year's new organisers returning for another instalment.

Organised for the second year by RunThrough, the UK's largest and Europe's fastest-growing running events company, the 13.1-mile route begins and ends at the iconic Warwick Racecourse and takes runners through beautiful Warwickshire countryside on fully-closed roads with marshals on hand throughout the course.

In addition to the half marathon, there will also be wheelchair half marathon and a 1k junior race allowing for the whole family to take part as the event returns on Sunday, February 4.

The tremendous success of the 2023 event saw more than 2,000 people enter to take part in the half marathon and organisers expect entry numbers to grow next year as the event's reputation continues to spread.

Across all of the individuals who chose to run for good causes in 2023, the event also raised an incredible £80,000 for charity.

For 2024, The Wigley Group Warwick Half Marathon has officially partnered with SWFT Charity, the official charity of South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust, as the event's charity of the year, with runners able to choose to raise money to support their work.

Rob Sullivan, race director, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with The Wigley Group as headline sponsor of the Warwick Half Marathon for 2024.

"It is extremely important to us to align ourselves with local businesses within the community that can see and positively enhance the work we are doing to inspire an active nation through running.

"We look forward to what is set to be a fantastic day on 4th February next year and can't wait to see and support all of the fantastic runners who will be taking part."

The half marathon begins at 9am, a wheelchair half marathon starts five minutes earlier, while the 1k kids race commences at 11.30am.
