The AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run is the Midlands’ biggest and best running event. Join the thousands of people pounding the streets every year to rise to the challenge.
There’s everything you’d expect from a Great Run event – notorious start line hype, top en-route entertainment and an event village that feels more like an after-party – but the carnival atmosphere and the passion and spirit of the runners is all Birmingham.
