The Daily Birmingham

Birmingham hosts 63 upcoming races within 25km in 2026. Runners used the past seven days for steady preparation rather than race-day results.

The volume of listed events makes consistent local training essential. Clubs meet at fixed times and places, giving participants repeatable sessions without travel. This pattern keeps athletes ready as deadlines approach for the first races on the calendar.

Club sessions this week

BTND Run Club met Wednesday at 7pm at Edgbaston Stadium. Holland & Barrett x Sport Relief Monday Miles started at 6pm from its usual point. Black Trail Runners Social Run is set for Sunday 21 September, giving another fixed date on the schedule.

These sessions occur at the same venues each week. Edgbaston Stadium provides a central track option. Malvern Park will host the Solihull 5K on Sunday 9 August 2026, with entries closing 27 July 2026.

Key dates ahead

The Birmingham Running Festival 10k and Half is listed for Sunday 6 September 2026 at Sutton Park. The Autumn Wolf Run 5K & 10K follows on 12 September at Offchurch Bury Polo Club. Lone Wolf Birmingham is scheduled for 19 September at Wyre Forest.

Participants can review the full list of 63 events on runningintheusa.com. Entry details for the Solihull 5K appear on eventbrite.co.uk. Runners should confirm times and any last updates directly with each organiser before heading out.
