The Midlands’ biggest mass-participation running event returns early this month as Birmingham welcomes thousands of runners back to its streets.

The hugely popular get-together provides participants with the opportunity to run either a 10k or half marathon. The designated route takes the runners past some of the city’s best-loved locations, including the Jewellery Quarter, St Paul’s Square, the Mailbox, Grand Central, St Martin’s Church, Southside and Digbeth. 

A Mini Run, designed specifically for younger participants, takes place at the Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr on Saturday the 2nd.
