Why choose the Great Birmingham Run?

The AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run is the Midlands’ biggest and best running event.

Thousands of Brummies take to the streets every year and rise to the challenge of either the Birmingham half marathon or the 10K, with plenty of participants raising cash for good causes.

There’s everything you’d expect from a Great Run – the start line hype, fantastic route entertainment and an event village that feels like an after-party. But what truly sets this event apart is the vibrant carnival atmosphere and the infectious spirits of our Birmingham runners and spectators… it’s a celebration that’s uniquely Birmingham!

The Route...

Enjoy a flat and fast route through central Birmingham! Blaze a trail around the city streets, which hosted the Commonwealth athletes during the Games in 2022. From the recognisable landmarks of the city centre to the green spaces that surround the city, take on a run that will keep you motivated every step of the way.

Check out the route on the Great Birmingham Run Website.
