About the race
Race for Life Shrewsbury is a fundraising running event at The Quarry in Shrewsbury on Sunday 30 May 2027. Distances offered include:
- 3 km
- 5 km
Adult entry is for ages 16 and over. Child entry is for ages 6 to 15 and must be registered by a parent, guardian or an adult with parental consent. Children under 6 may attend free but are not registered participants. Adult price is £18.99 and child price is £14.00. The minimum fundraising target is £50.00.
The Quarry is a 29 acre park on the bank of the River Severn and includes the Dingle garden. The 5 km course includes four short climbs of about 200 m each with an average gradient of 5.7%. The route is on a mixture of well maintained paths and grass; grass sections can become boggy in wet weather but can be avoided. Inclines can be avoided by completing four out and back laps along the riverside. The start and finish are on a grass field next to the swimming pool.
Facilities listed as available include refreshments, toilets, dogs allowed, suitability for pushchairs and wheelchair access with assistance. There is no designated event parking; the nearest public car park is Frankwell about 0.5 miles away and is free on Sundays. Participants receive a fundraising pack, a customisable back sign, training plans, community support and a finisher medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
