The Birmingham Black Country Half Marathon is a unique point to point race along the canal towpaths between Wolverhampton City Centre and Brindley Place in Birmingham on 4th July 2026.
The race caters for all types of runners but there are entries for ‘Elite’ runners as well.
The route is largely flat with some locks and bridges, and includes the famous ‘Coseley tunnel’, a 360-metre tunnel which proves to be a memorable feature of the scenic course. The route also features floating drink stations (canal barges) every three miles offering water for runners.
The finish line is in the heart of Brindley Place, Birmingham, where all finishers will receive a bespoke finishers medal and a goody bag.
