About the race
Birmingham Running Festival January 2026, hosted by RunThrough UK, takes place in Sutton Park, Sutton Coldfield, just outside Birmingham. The event offers 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, and a Junior Race on a multi-terrain course (road and gravel) through one of the UK’s largest urban parks. Runners enjoy a supportive atmosphere with marshals, a lively event village, post-race treats, and free race photos, plus chip-timed results.
Special features include a themed medal, sustainability initiatives, and optional RunThrough Kit T-shirts to reduce waste. Located minutes from Birmingham city centre, the route provides parkland scenery and approachable elevation gains across distances. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
