Any runner who competes in another person’s race number will be disqualified. UK Athletics rules state: “Numbers are issued to the individual athlete completing the application form except with the specific authority of the Race Organiser. Athletes who receive transferred numbers without permission will be disqualified from the race. Both runners will be subject to disciplinary action by the appropriate National Association.”

No refund can be given if the race has to be cancelled or postponed due to circumstances outside the race organisers’ control. Entries will be deferred to the new date or the 2021 Warwick Half Marathon.

The Warwick Half Marathon course has been measured by UKA through what they have deemed the “SPR,” or the shortest possible route that a runner can possibly cover, this is known as running the tangents. It is nearly impossible to run the exact route that the measurer used due to other runners on the course, making wider turns or taking on water stations, this will lead to a difference in the runners GPS and the official course distance.
