Great Birmingham Run

Previously known as the Birmingham Half Marathon, this exciting new event is now part of the Great Run series. The course will take participants on a 13.1 mile journey from the City Centre down Pershore Road to Bournville before doubling back and taking in the sights of Edgbaston Cricket Ground and Cannon Hill park en route back to the City Centre and the finish.

You can run for the NSPCC in two ways:
