Today’s Rugby Half Marathon is organised by a company called
The Race Organiser, who organised the multi-lapper that was the Draycote 10. So
I should probably have known what I was in for. They have recently taken over
this race which has been on my ‘to do’ list for a while. Unfortunately this is
not the race I wanted to do as this one doesn’t appear to go anywhere near
Rugby.
I feel I was a little duped by the race description of ‘Starting
at Hart field, you'll quickly find yourself out on to clear country roads and
flying round to return to the town centre’. No not really, never saw the town
centre.
It is basically two laps of some country lanes with a final
stretch along the pathway of the disused Great Central Railway. it is pleasant but far from exciting. However I’m pleased with my time, a 1:46 again and five seconds quicker than last
week. The organisation, aside from the disappointing course, is very good.
We also get to park quite close to the start, although we were told not to. Oops. There is also a
handy field for L, who doesn’t run, to exercise the boys. So not a bad morning
out.
