(full list of runners unavailable)

The 20th Rotary Two Castles Run from Warwick Castle to Kenilworth Castle on Sunday June 24th, 2001, was fully subscribed. It began at 9.30 am on a warm summer's day. Perhaps too warm for some of the competitors, but a great morning out for all the spectators.

The runners were set off by the Mayor of Warwick, Marion Hayward, and received at the finish by the Mayor of Kenilworth, Felicity Bunker, who presented the winners medal with Ian Courts, the Managing Director of Laing Construction, sponsor of the event.
