Butterfly Run 2026
The Warwickshire - Butterfly Run 2026 takes place on the Stratford Greenway in Stratford-upon-Avon. This event utilizes a timed format where participants navigate a 5.3km (3.28 mile) out and back course. The route consists of an off-road trail on a flat, scenic pathway. Because the terrain has no elevation gain or loss, the course is considered a flat and fast route.
Participants have the flexibility to choose their distance on the day of the event rather than deciding in advance. The format allows runners to complete as many or as few laps as they prefer within the designated time limit. Available distances typically achieved through various lap counts include:
- 5 km
- 10 km
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
- Ultra Marathon
The minimum distance required to be recognized as a finisher is one lap, which is 3.28 miles. All participants who complete at least one lap receive a bespoke finishers medal. Registration is open to all abilities, though distance restrictions apply to participants aged 20 or under in accordance with UK Athletics rules. The event is held on a dedicated greenway with specific entry limits for the number of participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
