A Coventry Way Challenge
A Coventry Way Challenge is scheduled for Sunday 26 April 2026 with the start and finish at the Heart of England Social Club in Meriden, CV7 7LB. The event follows the officially recognised circular long distance path around the city of Coventry. The route is normally 40 miles long; for 2026 the route is 41.4 miles due to diversionary changes. The majority of the route is off road and passes through mainly agricultural land in Warwickshire and Solihull.
The event is held annually and aims for participants to complete the whole circuit within a single day. It is open to individual walkers and runners and to relay teams of up to six members. All relay team members’ details must be submitted and team changeovers should take place at a checkpoint. Entry is restricted to people aged 18 or over on the day; younger entrants have specific accompaniment or membership requirements.
There are five reasonably evenly spaced checkpoints on the route offering cold drinks and a selection of sweet and savoury food, plus a hot meal for all participants and helpers at the finish. Each entrant or team is issued with a tracker device to assist event management and enable progress monitoring. Entries are limited to 250 and are processed through the online entries system; when full new entries will be placed on a waiting list. Entry fees listed for the event are Solo £24.00 and Relay £48.00. The event organiser will supply final details before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
