May The Fourth Be With You (Original)

The "May the Fourth Be With You" event offers participants the choice of running a half marathon or a full marathon in the scenic Shropshire Hills, starting from Carding Mill Valley near Church Stretton. Following a successful 2024 race, entries for the 2025 event are now open, with a limit of 200 participants for the main race. Runners will enjoy well-stocked aid stations and receive a unique medal upon completion.

Additionally, a virtual race option is available for those unable to attend in person, allowing participants to submit their times and receive their medals globally. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
