Draycote Water Running Festival
The Draycote Water Running Festival is a waterside race day set at a 240-hectare reservoir and country park near Rugby, based at Draycote Water Visitor Centre, CV23 8AB. The course runs entirely on tarmac paths and follows routes alongside the water. Half marathon routing shows an elevation gain of 117 m. GPX route files are provided.
The event offers chip-timed results, free race photos, a unique themed medal, post-race goodies and a bag drop. A race village provides food and drink and on-course staff give guidance. Two water stations are positioned on the 10K and half marathon routes, with water also available at the finish. Results feed into national rankings.
