Junior & Mini Great Birmingham Run
The Run
It’s fun to run, and running with friends and family is even better! The Junior & Mini Great Birmingham Run, part of the Great Birmingham Run weekend, is a brilliant introduction to running events for kids.
Important Event Update
We have made the difficult decision to cancel the Junior and Mini Great Birmingham Run due to take place on Sunday 10 October.
We know our runners will be disappointed and we are too. Unfortunately, despite the lifting of restrictions this week, we are still required to deliver safe events that are designed to minimise covid transmission amongst participants and spectators. The impact of these changes would be an event that doesn’t meet our own high standards and we don’t think it would be one that runners would like to take part in.
We have therefore decided to postpone this year’s event and instead stage the Junior and Mini events in May 2022, alongside the 10k and half marathon. This postponement allows us to deliver a much better event next Spring than we could in October, and we thank Birmingham City Council for their support in this difficult decision.
We’re sorry that we have to do this, but we hope everyone understands the decision.
We will offer all Junior & Mini entrants a full refund. You don’t need to do anything to claim this, we will process it automatically to the card you paid on. The refund will be your full cost of entry.
Please note, this refund will be processed over the coming weeks. It will take us a little while to process refunds, so we ask you to bear with us during this time whilst we process your refund.
Thank you for your understanding.
