Story

Join #TeamAcorns for the Midlands' biggest and best running event, and be among thousands of fellow runners while supporting local children and families.

Thousands of Brummies pound the streets every year to rise to the challenge of either the Birmingham half marathon or the 10K, with plenty of participants raising cash for good causes.

Starting & finishing in the heart of the city, soak up the incredible atmosphere, high-five your way along the course, experience your finish line moment and bask in the glory of your achievement. There’s everything you’d expect from a Great Run – notorious start line hype, top en-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.
