The Myton Hospices have a limited number of FREE places for this year’s Coventry Half Marathon! Why not join #TeamMyton to take on this much-loved event.
Recreating much of the previously popular route, the event will take place on the historic City Centre streets before heading to the nearby countryside and out towards Shakespeare’s county of Warwickshire.
A great event for runners and spectators alike, this scenic route promises to attract huge crowds of supporters and allows for a spot of phenomenal sightseeing as the gothic city centre meets the picturesque countryside.
Not just a route with something for everyone to appreciate, runners embarking upon the Coventry Cathedral finish line will be greeted with a goody bag of rewards, including post-run treats and a hard-earned bespoke medal for them to remember the day.
Come and join #TeamMyton on Sunday 27th April to take on this incredible challenge!
We are asking our supporters to pledge to raise a minimum of £100 in return for a FREE half marathon place, which would cover the cost of 4 hours specialist nursing care.
Entrants must be 17 years or over on event day.
You'll also receive the following from our dedicated fundraising team:
- Chip Timing
- A bespoke Myton Technical T-shirt
- Fundraising hints and tips to help smash your fundraising target

Give your trainers a new ‘lace of life’ with JogOn
Check out our brand-new partnership with JogOn!
We are inviting you to part ways with unwanted old trainers that you may have previously thrown out. Drop-off stations will be made readily available next to the Race Office, located in the Event Village on the Knavesmire.
Trainers will then be sent onto the JogOn HQ, ready to be passed on for a new lease of life and redistributed to those who need them most. Where possible, the JogOn Again scheme enables the reuse of unwanted shoes by giving them to those in need, through distribution by partners in eleven hubs around the world. Where reuse is not an option for the shoes they are shredded, and their remains are reused for other purposes.
