Kenilworth Runners are a Road and Cross Country Running Club with over 300 members in Warwickshire

Ryton 5 - the three lap wonder that weaves around

Ryton 5 - the three lap wonder that weaves around the pools of Ryton, featuring motivating marshals while you try to guess how many laps you’ve done - and then suddenly there’s a finish funnel - and you’re done.

Once again, Spa Striders hosted the fab five mile wonder that is the Ryton 5. The second race in the Warwickshire Road Race League.

Kenilworth Runners had a good turn out, with some first times amongst the many times, featuring PB’s, smiles and a Tiramisu birthday cake presentation in the finish funnel to one of our runners.

May has been a jam‑packed month. There have been ultras in the mountains, around Coventry, and to the sea; club‑led trail runs; league races; half marathons; 10Ks; and marathons.

Highlights include mum‑and‑son adventurers Helen B and Ryan running the Duckeries as their first 40‑mile ultra — a circular loop in Sherwood Forest on forest trails and footpaths. Ryan came 2nd, and then, seven days later, followed that with 3rd place at the Worcester

10K. Dewi ran a windy and wet 100K Ultra Trail Snowdon with 5,400 m+ of height gain, and Emma and Saz completed an 80K variation. Sue M ran to the sea in Brighton and was first in her age category. Ewan dressed as a crab to run three marathons in three days, raising awareness and money for Alzheimer’s.

There was a new PB for Brendon at the Birmingham Half; a hilly half at Market Harborough for Neill B; Mark R added Birmingham and Exeter to his 10K collection; Ian H enjoyed the Chester Half; and Richard B and C joined Andy S and Colin for a Coventry Way route adventure. Team Green also ran the Ryton 5 — the second WRRL race — and the 3rd EMGP Banbury 5.

All this and more, alongside our club‑run staples throughout the week.

In 2024 our club became a charity, inspired by the success of the Two Castles and Kenilworth Half Marathon. Thanks to your support, in 2025 we donated over £68,000 to local causes.

One of those donations funded a new defibrillator in the centre of Beausale — a key halfway point for both the Kenilworth and Warwick half marathons, used by thousands of runners, cyclists and walkers. It’s dedicated to runner Matthew Harris.

Pictured: Councillor Janet Gee and our race director Richard Clark. The parish council will maintain the device.

Midlands Road Relays - 42 KR runners, 3 women’s teams, 2 men’s teams, some fabulous supporters and plentiful cake.

Coombe Abbey provided a plenty of mud with lots of water features around the route for the final cross country league race of the season.

Great running from everyone in the team green with fabulous team spirit, support and baking.

Cross country gives us an opportunity to work as a team and embrace the seasonal delights of mud; up skilling our running with a variety of ground reactions.

Congratulations with jazz hands to Bella, who was 2nd overall in the individual competition this season! And a shout out to everyone that helped us secure 5th out of 30 teams in the team competition.

Until next season! Thank to everyone involved in organising the Midlands Women’s Cross Country League.
