Berrys – Main Sponsor for the 2026 Shrewsbury 5k, 10k, Metric Half and Half Marathon.

Berrys is delighted to be the main sponsor for two of Shropshire’s most iconic running events: The Wace Morgan Shrewsbury 5K & 10K on Sunday 5th July 2026 and The Pareto FM Shrewsbury Half & Metric Half Marathon on Sunday 27th September 2026. These events attract runners from across the region and beyond, celebrating community spirit, personal achievement and the unique charm of Shrewsbury.

Both routes have been carefully designed to highlight Shrewsbury’s most scenic and historic locations. Runners will pass landmarks including the Welsh and English Bridge, Kingsland, Porthill, Coleham, The Quarry, Frankwell, and the medieval town centre with its distinctive architecture and characterful streets. It’s a route that blends atmosphere, heritage and natural beauty, creating a memorable experience for runners of all abilities.
