The countdown is on for the AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run, with less than a month to go until thousands of runners take to the streets for one of the Midlands’ biggest running events.

Taking place in the heart of the city 3rd May, the event offers both a 10K and a half marathon, giving runners of all levels the chance to be part of a landmark day in Birmingham’s sporting calendar.

Known for its electric atmosphere, the Great Birmingham Run transforms the city with live music zones, cheering crowds and a real sense of occasion from start to finish. Runners pass through some of Birmingham’s most recognisable locations, creating an experience that is as memorable as it is rewarding.

If you have been thinking about signing up, now is the time to act. Entries have reached final price and demand remains high, with both distances selling out in advance last year. Remaining places are limited and expected to go quickly as race day approaches.

Adding to the appeal this year is an updated city centre finish, giving runners a fresh and memorable end to their Birmingham challenge. It is a fitting finale to a course that showcases the very best of the city and its passionate support.

Whether you are chasing a new personal best or simply looking to be part of one of the UK’s most popular city runs, this is your chance to secure a place on the start line and experience Birmingham at its very best.

Make sure you're part of Birmingham's big day here.
