Olympic torch bearer, Kenpas Highway
After being carried on a coach the short distance down the Kenilworth Road from the outskirts of Kenilworth, the torch is back on the road in the hands of the first runner on the Coventry leg, Marion Childs.
From here, the torch route continued down the highway, turned left onto Leamington Road (B4113), left again onto Kenilworth Road (A429) then into the Memorial Park where it ended the day - a circuit of approximately 2.5 miles. This meant that those watching it here had time to walk down to the park and see it arrive.
