Birmingham Black Country Half Marathon

The Birmingham Black Country Half Marathon is scheduled for Saturday 3 July 2027. It is a point-to-point road event described as a half marathon distance that is slightly longer than standard half marathon status, running from Wolverhampton to Birmingham. Much of the route follows canal side paths and includes sections with a hint of trail.

The event uses seeded wave starts based on predicted finish times and is chip timed. Participants who complete entry before the end of May are eligible to receive a personalised race bib. The event offers a medal, a T shirt and goody bags to finishers. Entry materials and event details are provided in an event booklet and published wave times, and an FAQ and previous results are available.

Practical information for participants includes parking and transport notes, spectator viewpoints and main location details. The organiser publishes terms and conditions and instructions on how to defer an entry. The event is described with the tagline "The light at the end of the Tunnel." Entries must be completed before the end of May to secure certain items listed for participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
