Route information

This 5k and 10k event takes place around the iconic Tamworth Castle in Staffordshire. This Grade I listed Norman Castle dates dates back to the 11th Century, first falling into disuse after an onslaught of Viking Invasions.

The race will start and finish in the beautiful grounds surrounding the Castle and will wind its way through out into the town before following a section of the canal in Fazeley. You will then return for a heroic finish in the castle grounds.

This race is perfect for runners of all abilities, from those looking to enjoy a Sunday morning run in spectacular surroundings or for experienced athletes attempting to clock a PB.

The course will be clearly marked throughout, with a water station at the 5k mark.

Turned out to be a pleasant day! There was flooding by the river bank on route but after heavy rainfall before hand it is to be expected. Overall It was a very good and well organised event. Will definitely do it again in the future.

No previous warning before hand about running through flood defences and by the canal path. Would have been more suitable for trail trainers as I’ve not ruined a pair of expensive road running trainers. Stewards had to assist with road crossings. There was no warm up conducted or pre race atmosphere.
