Good sports called to line up for Leamington Half Marathon and new 15K

Good sports are being called to line up for Leamington Half Marathon, and the new 15K, in aid of Safeline.

The run, organised by Raceways Events CIC, is back for its ninth year on Sunday June 7, starting and finishing at the Pump Room Gardens.

And new for 2026 is the Leamington 15K, offering a shorter challenge.

David Poole, event manager at Raceways Events CIC, said: “We’re incredibly excited to bring the Leamington Spa Half Marathon back for 2026. The support from the local community continues to grow year on year, and welcoming Davisons Law as our new headline sponsor is a fantastic step forward for the event.




“Introducing the new Leamington 15K allows even more people to take part, whether they’re stepping up in distance or just getting started on their running journey. It’s all about making the event as inclusive and accessible as possible while supporting an important local cause.”

This year, the race is raising funds for Safeline, a specialist Warwickshire charity dedicated to preventing sexual abuse and supporting those affected.


Participants can opt to enter the race for free by pledging to raise £100 for Safeline. Additionally, a portion of all race profits will be donated to the charity, helping to fund its ongoing work supporting individuals and families in need.

The event also includes a free Kids Mile Fun Run.
