Cannock Chase (Race HQ), close to Penkridge Road Car Park, Penkridge Bank Road, Rugeley, Staffordshire, WS15 2UA, United Kingdom
Cannock Chase Forest Half Marathon & 10K is a popular trail running event held at Cannock Chase, with both distances starting from the Race HQ close to Penkridge Road Car Park. The event is scheduled for Sunday 5 July 2026 with both races starting at 10:00, and it attracts runners of all abilities from novices to seasoned trail athletes. The courses wind through woodland trails and include notable ascent, offering a challenging but scenic run framed by volunteer marshals who guide competitors around the route. An event village and spectator-friendly viewing points create a supportive atmosphere for friends and family.
The organisers emphasise sustainability with measures such as a plastic bottle–free approach, recycling and a request to bring personal cups where possible. Facilities listed on the event page include free parking (Tackeroo car park within a short walk), secure bag storage and toilets, while the listing highlights clear course marking and strong marshal support. Entry details published on the listing show an age minimum and the advertised entry fees, but operational specifics such as prize structure, timing method and packet collection should be confirmed with the organiser prior to travelling.
