Welcome.
The
Marathon Tour of Coventry and Warwickshire is a race over
the full marathon distance (measured and certified accurate)
in five stages. Rather than a full marathon to celebrate
the first ever marathon to be held in Great Britain which
started in Coventry on May 9th 1908, a stage race has been
organised. To split a marathon into five stages is meant
to appeal to a) anyone who has not done a marathon before
but would like a gentle introduction to the distance and
still end with a certified time b) those who have completed
a marathon but would like to see if they can beat their
personal best under more favourable conditions c) the more
experience runner who wants a hard series of organised workouts,
but with the satisfaction of having a 'time' at the end.
Each
stage has a sponsor, there is a free BBQ at the end, with
a commemorative t-shirt and a race memento to remember the
experience.
The
'Tour' will be raising funds for the BDFnewlife and Radcliffe
Paediatric Special Care Baby Unit. Although sponsor forms
will be sent out, please do not feel obliged to collect.
The charities chosen were for very personal reasons. Soon
after my grandson was born, he had to be rushed to Oxford
to be put on support as Walsgrave University Hospital did
not have suitable facilies available. Radcliffe allowed
my daughter and son-in-law to live there while their son
was on support. BDFnewlife have provided specialist equipment.
Monies raised in the area are targetted by the charity to
the needs of the Coventry area.
Please
do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further
information.It is to be hoped that all competiors will enjoy
this different format of competition.
