SOLIHULL 5k, Half Marathon & kids race August 9TH 2026

The SOLIHULL 5k, Half Marathon & kids race on 9 August 2026 is a one-day running event organised by RunThrough with start and finish in Malvern Park in Solihull town centre. The programme includes a closed-road half marathon and a 5k on tarmac roads plus a newly introduced junior/kids race, with course maps and GPX available from the event site. The event supports Acorns Children’s Hospice and presents a community-focused race day aimed at a broad range of abilities from club runners seeking a PB to families taking part in the junior race.

The route for the half marathon is described as undulating and largely on closed roads through Solihull, with the 5k following the start/finish of the same course and an earlier turnaround point. Participants are directed to the official event website for detailed course maps, transport guidance and the event village location, and results are published via the RunThrough results service. Practical information such as precise start times, race inclusions and some race services are provided on the organiser’s pages and the RunThrough entry listing.
