Unique themed medal

Chip time results

Each Mile will be accurately marked out and we have plenty of helpers to keep you quite literally on track and encourage you on your way to the finish!

We have been extensively researching into what runners consider important, and sustainability is fast becoming the most important area. Click HERE to see what RunThrough is doing for sustainability.

T-Shirts at events have been a hot topic mainly around them not being a high enough quality to wear on a regular basis. We have decided to tackle this by offering a T-Shirt (Women – CLICK HERE | Men – CLICK HERE) with a retail value of £22 for £12 with the addition of the event logo printed on the chest.

We can do this with our partner RT Kit as part of a strategic decision to not only raise awareness about the quality of the product but also to counteract the increasing costs incurred in event production in a post-COVID world.

ONCE YOU ENTER YOU WILL RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION EMAIL. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHERE TO COLLECT YOUR NUMBER WILL BE SENT CLOSER TO THE EVENT – ENJOY!

RUN SOLIHULL COURSES

The Half Marathon undulating route, starting and finishing in Solihull town centre. All on closed roads and tarmac paths. The route starts by following New Road into Malvern Park, leaving the park via Widney Manor Road, to reach Knowle town centre. A countryside section through Barston and Eastcote follows, which includes the steeper inclines and declines of the course. The route returns to Knowle before following Widney Manor Road and Malvern Park back to Solihull town centre. PB potential.
