About the race
The Birmingham Running Festival February 2026, hosted by RunThrough UK, returns to Sutton Park in Sutton Coldfield (B73 6BT) on 8 February. It offers Half Marathon, 10K, 5K and a Junior Race on a course through woodlands and open parkland in a historic venue. Elevation gains vary by distance (about 306m for the half, 144m for the 10K, 72m for the 5K).
Expect a friendly marshal-led atmosphere, a lively event village with food and drink, free race photos, chip-timed results and a unique themed medal with post-race goodies. Sustainability initiatives and an optional RunThrough Kit T-shirt complete the experience, with proceeds supporting Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
