AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run
Scroll To:
The AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run is the Midlands’ biggest and best running event. Thousands of Brummies pound the streets every year to 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 – 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.
AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run entries are open to runners aged 15+ (10k) and 17+ (Half marathon) on the day of the event.
A booking fee (£2 per entry) is applied at checkout.
