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! \nYou’ll run past some of the city’s most famous landmarks\, with music and entertainment to keep you motivated. This event sold out last year so don’t miss out on securing your place for 2026. The biggest Great Birmingham Run yet! \nBy joining #TeamAcorns\, your support and fundraising could help more families have overnight stays at any one of our three hospices. This could be the first time a child stays with us\, or it could be at end of their life.[/vc_column_text]\n		\n            Sign up today                    \n\n	[/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=””] \nSecure your place today \nWe are excited to offer a limited number of race entries this year!
