The Cannock Chase Running Festival — April 2026 is a one-day mass-participation event organised by RunThrough at Concert Field, Birches Valley in Cannock Chase Forest, Rugeley. Scheduled for Sunday 19 April 2026, the festival invites runners to choose from a Half Marathon, 10K, 5K or a junior race. Routes wind through forest trails, gravel sections and short stretches of tarmac; courses are described as undulating, are waymarked in places and are clearly marshalled to guide participants.
Entries include a unique themed finisher's medal, free race photography and chip-timed results. There is an event village offering food and drink services and partner giveaways; Midlands Air Ambulance is listed as the event charity partner and the festival format emphasises a family-friendly, accessible trail-running atmosphere. Additional participant information (detailed course maps, athlete guide, packet collection and exact logistics) will be published by the organiser closer to the event date.
