Shrewsbury Half Marathon

The Pareto FM Shrewsbury Half Marathon, held on September 28, 2025, starts and finishes at the West Mid Showground in Shrewsbury. The event offers two distances: the traditional half marathon (13.1 miles) and a metric half marathon (8.1 miles/13.1 km), catering to different runner levels. The scenic course highlights Shrewsbury’s landmarks, including the Welsh and English Bridges, The Quarry, Kingsland, Frankwell, and the historic town center with medieval architecture.

Participants receive technical race t-shirts, bespoke metal medals, free official photos, and race treats. The event is UKA licensed, chip-timed, and provides pacers, onsite parking, and an eco-friendly option to plant a tree instead of a finisher’s t-shirt.
