This year's Two Castles run

This year’s run will take place on Sunday 14th June, with runners setting off from Warwick Castle on a 10km route through the countryside, crossing the finish line at Kenilworth Castle.

Organisers from the Kenilworth Runners have been working to open the run up to more participants, offering an increased number of places this year, and will also be making changes to help supporters who turn out to cheer on the runners at the castles.

Richard Clarke, race director from Kenilworth Runners, said: “People often tell us that the Two Castles Run is their favourite race of the year, so it’s great to be able to offer more places to runners for this year’s event.

“We are expecting around 5,000 runners and we’re also working hard on changes to the visitor experience for spectators.

“This year we will be providing buses so that spectators can travel between the two castles to cheer on their friends and family, offering a convenient transport option and meaning they can easily move along the route without having to use their own cars.”

The Two Castles Run helps to raise money for various good causes – runners can collect sponsorship for a charity of their choice and are invited to contribute to The Myton Hospices when they sign up to the race. Around 50 runners from The Myton Hospices will also run the race, raising vital funds through sponsorship.

This year, the run will be sponsored by Leamington-based Blythe Liggins Solicitors. The company has been a long-term supporter of the race, and its team have pledged to sponsor the event for another five years.

Richard said: “With Blythe Liggins committing to sponsoring the race for five more years, it gives us the security of knowing we have that support and funding. Blythe Liggins are part of the race’s DNA, their staff volunteer on the day and many of their team take part in the race, so we’re pleased that they will be continuing to show their support.”

Donna Bothamley, partner at Blythe Liggins Solicitors, said: “The Two Castles Run is a fixture in the local calendar – it’s an event which thousands of runners enjoy taking part in and which raises much-needed funds for important charities, including the Myton Hospices.

“We’re proud to have supported it for many years and look forward to continuing to give our backing over the next five years.”
