About

Choose between a half marathon or 10k course to challenge yourselves on the crowd filled streets of Birmingham in this epic event. Great for first timers and experienced runners alike, the course winds through the UK’s second largest city and past its key landmarks. Come for the unbeatable race day atmosphere or for that cherished finisher’s medal.

There’s everything you’d expect from a Great Run – notorious start line hype, top on-route entertainment and an event village that feels more like an after party – but the carnival atmosphere and the passion and spirit of the runners is all Birmingham.

Route information

The 10k and half marathon routes will again showcase Birmingham at its very best, starting in Centenary Square and sweeping past standout city landmarks including the Jewellery Quarter, St Paul’s Square, the Mailbox, Grand Central at New Street Station, St Martin’s Church, Southside and Digbeth. Half marathon runners will head into south Birmingham, with the green spaces of Cannon Hill Park and Selly Park and around the famous Edgbaston Stadium, before re-joining the 10k route for a standout finish; past the iconic curves of the Selfridges Building, onto the home straight along Jennens Road, and into Aston University’s vibrant event village.

On Saturday the Junior & Mini events will return to the iconic Alexander Stadium, home of the 2026 European Athletics championships. Our smallest Brummie runners (aged 3-8) take on a 1.5km dash, while Junior runners (aged 9-15) tackle a supercharged 2.5km sprint.
