Take on a brilliant run in the heart of Birmingham for Deafblind UK!
The AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run is the Midlands’ biggest and best running event. 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. 2025’s event was a complete sell-out, so get in early to secure your place on the start line and bag yourself a saving in the process!
We’re excited to share this year’s Great Birmingham Run route, including a newly updated city-centre finish! See the full route and map here.
Whether you are a first-time fundraiser or a seasoned runner looking to chase a personal best, running for Deafblind UK will give you that extra motivation to succeed knowing that, with every step, you are supporting the care of deafblind people across the UK.
