About the Event

Take on a classic long-distance challenge at A Coventry Way on Sunday, 26th April 2026, a 40-mile circular route exploring the countryside surrounding Coventry and Meriden, the traditional centre of England. Organized by the Long Distance Walkers Association, this inclusive event welcomes runners, walkers, and relay teams to tackle the scenic footpaths at their own pace, with entries opening on 1st November 2025. You'll be fully supported by five well-stocked checkpoints offering cold drinks and snacks, with a hot meal and drinks waiting at the finish line at the Heart of England Social Club. Each participant receives a GPS tracker for safety, allowing friends and family to follow progress in real-time, while the friendly volunteers create a fantastic atmosphere of encouragement. Whether you're aiming for a fast time or enjoying a full day's walk for charity, the 2026 edition promises a rewarding test of endurance through the beautiful Warwickshire landscape.

About Coventry

Coventry is a large city in the West Midlands region of England, part of the United Kingdom. It has a population of just over 365,000 (2018), making it the eleventh-largest city in the country. Locally, the city is known as 'The Three Spired City', because of the church and cathedral spires that form the most striking aspect of the city's landscape. Coventry is perhaps best known for its association with the 11th century legend of Lady Godiva and for its two cathedrals, one of which is preserved as ruins after heavy bombing in the Second World War. Although an old city, visitors should not expect much in the way of old-world charm. Extensive rebuilding of the city following the war in the 1940s and 1950s replaced much of its pre-war appeal with questionable concrete structures and a highly pedestrianised city centre, enveloped by a partially-elevated ring road.
