The AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run is back for 2025 – and it’s set to be the biggest weekend of running the city has seen in over a decade. With over 15,000 runners across the weekend (3/4 May), this year’s celebration of sport, community and charity promises to be unmissable. With demand already high, entries are expected to sell out in advance once again.

The weekend kicks off in style with the Junior & Mini events on Super Saturday, where the next generation of runners will take the spotlight at Birmingham’s Alexandra Stadium. With the Gladiators confirmed as official starters, it’s set to be a high-energy, family-friendly day packed with inspiration and fun.

Sunday’s main event will see runners of all ages and abilities take to the streets, cheered on by tens of thousands of spectators lining the route. From first-timers chasing that finish line feeling to seasoned club runners chasing PBs, the energy and atmosphere will be electric.

But of course it's not just about competition – it’s about community. With over £1 million expected to be raised for good causes, every step taken is making a difference.

Whether you're running, cheering or simply soaking in the buzz, the Great Birmingham Run 2025 is more than just a race – it's a city-wide celebration of achievement, pride and passion. Don't miss your chance to be part of the Midlands’ biggest and best running weekend.
