It's been a difficult few years hasn't it?! As this event has been rescheduled twice before, we hope to finally get those feet out pounding the streets of Birmingham with our team or runners proudly wearing a BSWA vest.

Our runners will be putting themselves through their paces to raise funds for our charity, Birmingham and Solihull Women's Aid. We offer emergency housing in our six comfortable and safe refuges, we work with partners across our area to provide a housing options service, and support women and children with emotional support via our helpline and webchat. Projects offering support to women taking action via the criminal justice system, staff working in healthcare settings and women who seek support via their GP are just some of the other specialised services offered.

By taking part in the event, and raising funds for BSWA you're showing a real commitment to ending violence against women, and it opens up the conversation with your friends and family members about an issue that affects all of us. Thank you for the support and let's raise as much money as we can!
