Sandwell Valley 10K is an off-road 10K held in West Bromwich, West Midlands, starting at Dartmouth Central Club. Runners follow trails and footpaths through Sandwell Valley, making it a park-and-path run distinct from a road 10K. The finish takes place in Dartmouth Park, providing a clear local endpoint within a major green space. Wulfrun Racing organizes the event. The entry listing also includes a half marathon, offering participants a choice between the 10K and a longer race.
The Grand Union Canal Ultra begins at 6:00am from Gas Street Basin in Birmingham and finishes at Little Venice in London. This non-stop ultramarathon is scheduled for late May, and participants must be at least 20 years old. The route uses the marked Grand Union Canal Towpath, forming a single long canal path instead of loops or road sections. Runners may bring their own support crews, though the organisers can accommodate up to 75 unsupported competitors, indicating the scale and self-reliance required.
Running: The park has a 5 mile loop. Sutton Park gives locals Europe’s largest urban park, with smooth terrain, trails, and room for Z2 without fuss. COBS keeps things steady with three weekly sessions, including Tuesday coaching at Aston University Woodcock Street Sports Centre at 6:30pm. RunBrumCrew brings the social miles, and RunTalkRun holds a weekly 5k in the Jewellery Quarter. Birmingham Half Marathon, Birmingham Black Country Half Marathon, Race for Life Birmingham, and Grand Union Canal Ultra work as anchor events.
Cycling: The Starley Network has hundreds of miles of linked routes, so you can start base miles in the city and keep going. Canal paths carry locals from Oxley to Wolverhampton, Wolverhampton to Bilston, Coseley to Tipton, Tipton to Smethwick, and Sandwell to Birmingham. Cannon Hill Park works for a circular spin, and Sutton Park does the same for Sutton Coldfield riders. Gravelton Events brings the self-supported side with GPX, TCX, and FIT files, plus a no entry fee, no frills, turn up and ride feel. Lickey Hills, Waseley Hills, and Lemur Hill hold the climbs.
Season: Summer suits the West Midlands best, because long light makes canal miles, park laps, and post-work intervals feel easy to fit in. West Midlands Cycle Hire helps casual riders and visitors, with 1,500 bikes and e-bikes available through the Beryl app. Pedal bikes cost £1 to unlock and 5p per minute, while e-bikes cost £1.50 to unlock and 10p per minute. Winter changes the rhythm, because runners lean into mud, rocky terrain, and January race focus with Not the Roman IX over 12km. Cyclists keep the Z2 honest on canal paths, then point the bike at gravel, bridleways, and cyclocross-style filth.
