Run Club Birmingham holds its regular Wednesday sessions at 7:00 PM at Edgbaston Stadium, giving local runners a consistent mid-week option as they build toward larger events.

Why the club focus matters now

The Birmingham Running Festival on Sunday, 19 July 2026 offers distances from 10k through to marathon with entry prices ranging from £10 to £38, drawing participants who rely on weekly club runs for training. Other groups such as Black Trail Runners and Holland & Barrett x Sport Relief Monday Miles Run Club add variety through their own scheduled outings.

Key local venues and deadlines

The Solihull 5K takes place at Malvern Park on Sunday, 9 August 2026, with applications due by 27 July 2026. Later in the season the Birmingham Running Festival 10k and Half Marathon return on Sunday, 6 September 2026 at Sutton Park in Sutton Coldfield, with entries closing 17 August 2026. The Lone Wolf Birmingham 2026 5K and 10K follows on Saturday, 19 September 2026 at Wyre Forest.

These dates sit alongside the ongoing weekly programme at Edgbaston Stadium and the Black Trail Runners Social Run listed for Sunday, 21 September. Runners use the fixed club nights to maintain fitness without needing to travel for every long session.

What comes next

Anyone looking to join can check the listed application deadlines for the September events and attend the Wednesday 7:00 PM start at Edgbaston Stadium to connect with the local running community before the next race date.
