Be ez set himself the challenge to complete the marathon distance - 26.2 miles, around Custard Corner in Kenilworth to raise money for the Samaritans on the 21st June.

Accompanied by a different runner for each of the 26 miles, Be ez ran for 5 hours 18 minutes, switching directions after each mile.

Each running companion held a rhubarb baton to exchange at each mile and Custard powder marked out the route around the pedestrian area.

Awesome work Be ez! Raising awareness and money for the Samaritans, creating a sense of community and helping start much needed conversations. Channelling grief into something positive.

You bet your Historic Castles it’s the Two castles.

A great turn out from Kenilworth Runners at the Two Castles, with over 130 club members taking on this club favourite and 4th race in the W.R.R.L. We love it for its undulating challenges posed along the route, after starting from inside Warwick Castle, weaving its way through Warwick, to the countryside lanes of Leek Wootton into Kenilworths resident lined streets with jelly babies, hose pipes and cheers to greet you before finishing in the grounds of Kenilworth Castle.

First over the line for Kenilworth’s Women was Lotta and for Kenilworth’s Men it was Harry. Amongst the whole team there were some great runs and personal best, first times and many times!

This year Kenilworth Runners worked with Kenilworth Rotary club to organise the event. Exciting for the club to be involved once again during its 41st year!
