AJ Bell Junior & Mini Great Birmingham Run

Start 8:45 am

What a SUPER morning we had with our Junior and Mini runners! Don’t forget to check out your official event photos and results (Junior’s only) from the day.

The AJ Bell Junior and Mini Great Birmingham Run sees our smallest Brummie runners (aged 3-8) take on a 1.5km dash, while Junior runners (aged 9-15) tackle a supercharged 2.5km sprint. With a city centre start and finish and the same distinctive carnival atmosphere as the main event, Birmingham’s next generation of athletes will be off to a flying start.

Ready to do it all again next May? Sign up to our reminder service to be the first to hear when entries open for the 2025 Junior and Mini Great Birmingham Run.

Mini entrants (3-8 yrs) must run with a parent, each child should be entered into the event. Junior entrants (9+) do not need to be accompanied by an adult although this can be requested upon entry if required, each child should be entered into the event.
