OUR ORIGINAL AND ALL ENCOMPASSING TOUR, SHOWCASING THE BEST THIS CITY HAS TO OFFER.
Join our guided 12km run showcasing the very Best of Birmingham.
We will quite literally run through 1620 years of Birmingham's history in the city centre, Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter.
We’ll guide you to some hidden gems as well as the city's great landmarks. You'll hear about amazing inventions that changed the world as well as iconic Brummies that were both great and evil. Prepare to be inspired by the development of Birmingham’s gay scene, laugh about what happened to an FA Cup and understand why the rest of the UK seem to hate the Birmingham accent so much.
Our stretches of running will be along idyllic canal paths and city streets lined with architectural beauties. The stops are an opportunity to take photos, catch your breath and learn about things you’d have otherwise run past.
Get ready to explore Brum like never before, through mind, body and sole.

PACE
Our pace policy as standard: Leisurely and enjoyable (with a chance to go for it at the end!).
We run together. No one gets left behind.
Please bear in mind that our tours contain frequent stops, so you will most likely be able to run further and faster with us than you would on your usual run.
We offer plenty of distractions on our running tours too, so you’ll most likely forget about those pesky splits and stats.
Not quite that quick? No problem!
We offer 8:00 minute/km plus pace and run/walk options, or you can opt to run this tour in two 5km parts. Just contact us to arrange a date and time suitable to you.
EVERYONE is invited to run with us, but we offer different paced runs as we know that trying to keep up or being held back isn't fun for anyone.
