Time is fast running out if you want to be a part of Birmingham's big day on Sunday 7 May at the AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run.

Starting and finishing in the heart of the city, runners can expect inspiring sights, iconic landmarks and incredible local support all along the 10K and half marathon route.

It’s not just the brilliant new route to get runners excited: with a start line DJ, rocking on-course music zones and an event village that feels more like an after-party – the carnival atmosphere and spirit is uniquely Birmingham.

Organisers promise a whole host of features for runners to enjoy including an extra cool t-shirt, time pacers powered by music and, with rocking music and live bands at every turn, there's going to be quite a party atmosphere across the city on race day.

Here's for a little flavour of the Great Run experience:

Birmingham really does come alive on race day, and there’s still time to sign up and be part of the action. Whether it’s the start line butterflies, doing something incredible for charity, or strangers shouting your name, you have to be there to feel the feeling.

So set yourself a challenge, be part of something special and earn an epic medal. Take your place on the AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run start line.
