Drayton Manor 5k & 10k
The event is a themed running event held at Drayton Manor Theme Park in Tamworth on 11 April 2027. It offers race entry that includes theme park access (retail value £25 to £45) and supports Midland Mencap.
Distances:
- 5 km - 1 lap
- 10 km - 2 laps
The course is on tarmac and described as flat. Every entry includes a unique themed medal, free race photos, chip-timed results, post-race goodies, and a bag drop in a secure marquee. Water is provided at the halfway point of the 10 km and at the finish; the 5 km course does not pass a water station.
Minimum ages are set for each distance: 11 years and above for the 5 km, and 15 years and above for the 10 km. Buggy runners and wheelchair athletes are welcome; dogs are not allowed. There is free parking on site, though attendees are advised that vehicles cannot leave the park until after the race finishes for safety reasons.
Race pack collection, an event village with food and toilets, marshals on course, and a group warm-up before the start are provided as part of the event logistics. An optional event T-shirt is available for purchase at a reduced price. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
