10k runs in the West Midlands: 144 10K races in 2026 and 2027, from Birmingham to the Welsh border, with dates, start locations and entry links. Birmingham sets the pace with the Great Birmingham Run in May, which runs a 10K and a half marathon through the city centre on closed roads. Around it, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Stoke-on-Trent all have regular city 10Ks, and the Black Country club scene turns out a race most weekends. Head west and the character changes: Worcester and Hereford run along the Severn and the Wye, while Shropshire's hills, the Malverns and Cannock Chase provide the trail 10Ks.

What to expect from a West Midlands 10k
The region has a long tradition of club road running, and it shows in the calendar: measured courses, modest entry fees and a competitive front of the field at races that have been going for decades. Sutton Park in Birmingham, the War Memorial Park in Coventry and the Quarry in Shrewsbury are regular venues for 10Ks on traffic-free paths, and the canal towpaths that thread through the Black Country give flat courses in unlikely places. Spring and autumn are busiest, with summer evening 10Ks filling the gap. Check the race page for the 5K or fun run that often shares the morning, and use the distance slider if you are after a 10-miler.
