This year’s Tamworth 10k will be held on the Sunday the 27th Oct 2024 and will start and finish in the beautiful grounds surrounding Tamworth Castle and will wind its way through the grounds and out into the town, then follow a canal section in Fazeley, before returning to the Castle Grounds.
The Tamworth 10k was voted 4th best 10k in the UK by Runners World in 2013 as its scenic but mainly flat 5k loop course takes in some of the town’s best scenery with its start and finish set in the popular Castle Grounds leisure facility with its gardens, sports amenities, walkways, and café.
UPDATE: Now a timing chipped event.
The cost to enter is £23 (affiliated) and £25 (non-affiliated).
The Florette Fradley 10K is a popular run and attracts around 1,000 entrants each year. Covering flat, tarmac country roads, it’s a great event for beginners and pros alike. The Fradley 10k has previously been nominated in the National Running Awards for the best 10k race for personal best times.
New for 2025 will be cash prizes for the first 3 men and first 3 women across the finish line. This is a very popular fast, flat 10K course, where a PB is yours for the taking! Will fill up fast.

Thank you to all runners that took part in the 25th Florette Fradley 10k
After a wet start to the morning for our 25th anniversary race (first held in 1999), we saw a fabulous turn out for this ever popular 10k road race. It was lovely to see great spectator numbers from friends, family and villagers alike.
We were blessed with sunshine as the winner and 1st Male, Peter Ball of Bromsgrove & Redditch AC crossed the finish line in a time of 34.14, closely followed by Billy Barrett of Rugeley runners in 2nd place, and Robert Meredith in 3rd place with a time of 34.45
The first female across the line was Tamara Freeman also from Bromsgrove & Redditch AC in a time of 37.27 and with an overall finish position of 16th, next was Elizabeth Watters of Birchfield Harriers in 39.33, and in 3rd place was Olivia Harris of Royal Sutton Colfield AC 40.41
Thank you to all our runners you’re amazing, and a special thank you to our wonderful sponsor at Florette for their support again in our anniversary year together.
