View all races for Aug 2026

The Solihull Half Marathon & 5K starts and finishes in Malvern Park in the heart of Solihull, offering runners the opportunity to race on fully closed roads through the town and the surrounding Warwickshire countryside. Alongside the half marathon and 5K, the event also includes a junior race, making it an enjoyable day out for runners and families alike.

The half marathon follows an undulating route through Solihull, Knowle, Barston and Eastcote before returning to the town centre, combining picturesque rural scenery with excellent road running. The 5K offers a shorter closed road challenge, while every race benefits from accurate chip timing, clearly marked kilometres, enthusiastic marshals and a professionally organised race day experience.

All finishers receive a themed medal, free race photographs and post race refreshments, with a lively event village providing food, drink and entertainment throughout the day. The Solihull Half Marathon & 5K has become a popular fixture in the West Midlands running calendar, attracting runners chasing personal bests as well as those taking on a new distance in a supportive atmosphere.
