Join #TeamAcorns for the Midland’s biggest and best running event!
There’s everything you’d expect from a Great Run – notorious start line hype, top enroute 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! This event sold out last year so don’t miss out on securing your place!
By joining #TeamAcorns you’ll be raising money for life limited and life threatened babies, children, and young people across the West Midlands.
