City of Birmingham Striders are pleased to introduce the COBS Summerfield 5k on the Warwickshire Road Race League fixture list. The race will be held on 19 August 2026 at 19:00 in Summerfield Park in Birmingham, just west of the city centre.
A fast and flat 5k course which was devised by Birmingham Running, Athletics and Triathlon Club (BRAT), and we are proud to continue their legacy by bringing the race back as part of the Warwickshire Road Race League calendar.
ROUTE DETAILS
The route involves a single small clockwise loop, three big clockwise loops and a finishing straight. The start is just inside the West Gate entrance off Gillott Road. The course is predominantly on tarmac paths with a very short off-road section (~5m) required to avoid barriers. Please take care when leaving and rejoining the path. Course map as below.
The course has been officially measured and has an accuracy certificate (19/308) this will be available to view at registration.
RACE RESTRICTIONS
You are not permitted to run with dogs or any other animals.
Buggies and push chairs are not permitted.
Bone conduction sports headphones are the only headphones that are allowed for use in all road races under the UK Athletics Rules of Competition. If you do choose to wear bone conduction headphones please ensure you can hear instructions. Given the lapped nature of this course it is important that you can hear instructions from the marshals who may warn you of approaching runners or other hazards.
Unfortunately, this race is not suitable for wheelchair racers owing to the short off-road section; however, the park is accessible for spectators/volunteers in wheelchairs.
REGISTRATION, NUMBER COLLECTION & finisher area
All numbers are to be collected on the evening of the event from the registration area in the park situated between the start and finish areas.
Registration will be open from 18:00 for number collection and will be open after the race until 20:00 for bag collection. Please ensure all belongings have been collected by this time otherwise they will be removed by the event team.
Athletes must enter all the required information on the reverse of the number including medical and emergency contact information.
Numbers must be secured to the front of the athlete and clearly visible, ideally with a pin in each corner.
There is plenty of space in the park to warm up and familiarise yourself with the route.
Toilets, bag drop and refreshments will all be close to the start/finish area within the park. The race organisers take no responsibility for loss or damage of bags or their contents.
First aiders will be situated close to the start and finish. Contact a marshal should you or another runner require their assistance. Please do not run if you are feeling unwell or are injured.
Medals will be awarded after finishing, as well as water and a snack to aid recovery.
TRANSPORT & PARKING
The start is near the entrances to Summerfield Park on Gillott Road and Selwyn Road (Postcode B16 0LR). Participants are encouraged to travel to the race in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
Summerfield Park is easily accessible using public transport being close to bus stops on Icknield Port Road and Dudley Road, served by routes 80, 82, and 87 from the city centre. The park can also be accessed via the Harborne Walkway.
There is on-street parking on the roads surrounding the park. If driving, please consider car sharing if possible and please park considerately, as this is a residential area and parking is limited.
For those of you that have done Edgbaston Reservoir parkrun, you will be familiar with the parking in the area. It is 10-15 mins walk from Edgbaston Reservoir to Summerfield Park.
ENTRY
Affiliation must be up to date and your UKA number provided in your Entry Central profile when purchasing an affiliated entry. These will be checked.

TIMING & RESULTS
This race is not chip timed and you will be awarded your gun time.
If you are a faster runner then please position yourself towards the front of the start pen with the slower runners towards the back. This is a small event and we do not anticipate a significant delay from the race being started and crossing the start line, even for those lining up towards the back of the field.
Provisional results will be available the day following the race and published on the COBS website. After a period of review, they will be submitted to Power of 10.
