Cannock Chase Running Festival October 2025
Join us for the Cannock Chase Running Festival!
Sunday 12th October 2025
These undulating trails take you running through the stunning Cannock Chase Forest. The race is run on a mix of surfaces including dirt trails, gravel and tarmac. Each mile is accurately marked out with signposts and we have plenty of helpers to keep you on track and encourage you on your way to the finish.
This event will be held at Cannock Chase Forest which is within the Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
With this event being only 20 miles from central Birmingham and just outside Stafford, it is easily accessible by car.
This epic venue will host the 2022 Commonwealth Games mountain biking at the Forestry England site! As well as this, our Event village including the start and finish lines will be positioned at the concert site, which has previously hosted George Ezra, Jools Holland and Tom Jones!
Included in your entry fee:
– Themed medal,
– Chip timed results
– Free official photos,
– Water and post-race goodies!
BRAND NEW MEDAL TO BE REVEALED! (previous design pictured)
Come and enjoy the day with us; we hope to see you there!
If you are a wheelchair athlete please contact us ahead of this race via email at info@runthrough.co.uk.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR TRAINING!
We have been extensively researching into what runners consider important, and sustainability is fast becoming the most important area. Click HERE to see what RunThrough is doing for sustainability.
T-Shirts at events have been a hot topic mainly around them not being a high enough quality to wear on a regular basis. So we have decided to tackle this by offering a T-Shirt (Women – CLICK HERE | Men – CLICK HERE) with a retail value of £22 for £12 with the addition of the event logo printed on the chest. These are to be collected at the Kit Stall on the day.
We can do this with our partner RT Kit as part of a strategic decision to not only raise awareness about the quality of the product but also to counteract the increasing costs incurred in event production in the modern world.
5k= 1 lap; 10K= 2 laps, Half Marathon = 4 laps (+mini lap)

After every race you’ll be able to grab a delicious pack of LOVE CORN.
If that’s not motivation to cross that finishing line, we don’t know what is in life and in snacks, it’s all about finding love in the little things.
LOVE CORN is delicious crunchy corn that makes lunchtimes more exciting, meetings go quicker and life a little bit better, one kernel at a time.
Whole corn kernels simply roasted off the cob and seasoned with the best ingredients to make the ultimate feel good snack.
50% less fat than crisps, high fiber, low sugar, gluten free and vegan.
