Race for Life Shrewsbury 3k : The Quarry, 31 May 2026
This event is a 3k Race for Life taking place at The Quarry, Park & Garden in Shrewsbury. The course runs within a 29 acre park on the bank of the River Severn and passes the Dingle garden.

The 3 km route includes four short climbs, each about 200 m long, with an average gradient of 5.7% for those sections.
