A Coventry Way Challenge : 26 April 2026
A Coventry Way Challenge is a one-day circular walking and running event scheduled for Sunday 26 April 2026. The route circles the city of Coventry and is about 40 miles in length; for 2026 the route measures 41.4 miles because of necessary deviations. The majority of the route is off-road and passes through mainly agricultural land in Warwickshire and Solihull. The event starts and finishes at the Heart of England Social Club, Berkswell Road, Meriden, Coventry CV7 7LB.
Format, checkpoints and support
The event is open to individual walkers and runners and to relay teams of up to six members. Relay changeovers are to take place at checkpoints and all relay team members must be entered. There are five reasonably evenly spaced checkpoints on the route that provide food and drinks; all entrants receive a hot meal at the finish. Organisers issue a tracker device to each entrant or team to help manage the event and to allow progress monitoring; trackers must be returned at the finish or at a checkpoint if retiring. Participants are asked to bring their own mug.
Entry and eligibility
Entries open on 1 November 2025 and close in early April 2026. Entry options and fees listed on the organiser page include solo and relay entries. The event is open to anyone aged 18 or over on the day; younger entrants must meet the stated accompaniment or membership conditions. Final route details and event information are provided by the organiser prior to the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
