The AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run is the Midlands’ biggest and best running event. There’s everything you’d expect from a Great Run – notorious start line hype, top on-route entertainment plus 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. Expect inspiring sights, iconic landmarks, and incredible support all along the 10k and half marathon routes.
Thousands of Brummie runners take to the streets every year to take on the challenge – will you join us in 2024?
AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run entries are open to runners aged 15+ (10k) and 17+ (Half marathon) on the day of the event. If you have any queries about Great Run events, see our FAQ section here.
A booking fee (£2 per entry) is applied at checkout.
