COV HALF MARATHON / MERCIA MILE / COV FUN RUN Summer is the time for sport in Coventry, with running being the course of choice. This Sunday heralds the Coventry Half Marathon, which goes all through Cov, and even makes its way to campus. It’s too late to sign-up to the Half Marathon itself, but you can sign up to the “Mercia Mile” on the day, as long as you turn up before 9.15am. For more info (e.g. route), see http://coventryhalf.com/ — check this out, as you may find your way around blocked e.g. if you live on Charter Avenue. Go and cheer people on! The Coventry Fun Run is still open for registration. It’s on Sunday 27th June (Sunday at the end of week 9), and you can run either for your own charity, or just fundraise for their central bank. If you want to take part in this 4-mile run, see http://www.coventryfunrun.co.uk/ for more info. Also The National Grid has informed the University that essential road works will take place on Stoneleigh Road from Monday 31 May for six weeks.
