Set against the picturesque backdrop of Shrewsbury, the Pareto FM Shrewsbury Half & Metric Half Marathon 2025 invites runners to experience a scenic and historic course on Sunday, 28 September 2025. Both races commence and conclude at the West Mid Showground, guiding participants through notable landmarks such as the Welsh & English Bridges, Kingsland, Porthill, Coleham, The Quarry, Frankwell, and the medieval town centre with its unique street names. The Half Marathon starts at 8:30 AM, followed by the Metric Half Marathon at 8:55 AM. Entrants will receive a technical race souvenir t-shirt (with options for ladies' or men's fit), a bespoke metal medal, free official race photos, and chip-timed results on a UKA licensed course. Additional amenities include pacers to assist with target times, race treats at the finish, easy onsite parking, and an eco-friendly option to plant a tree instead of receiving a finisher’s t-shirt.
