Shrewsbury Half Marathon

The Pareto FM Shrewsbury Half Marathon, held on September 28, 2025, starts and finishes at the West Mid Showground in Shrewsbury. This UK Athletics licensed event offers two distances: the traditional half marathon (13.1 miles) and a metric half marathon (8.1 miles), catering to runners seeking a shorter challenge. 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, race treats, and chip-timed results. Eco-conscious runners can opt to plant a tree instead of a finisher’s t-shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
