JOIN OUR CHOCOLATE HISTORY TOUR OF BOURNVILLE.
A 7km guided run through blissful Bournville, the revolutionary model village that’s retained it’s Quaker ideals for over 100 years - or has it?
We’ll retrace the footsteps of the Cadbury Family from small chocolate shop to 2nd biggest confectionery brand in the World, telling tales at each stop including legal battles over the colour purple, fights with Mars and feeding the Queen.
It’s a story of sacrifice, scandal and disrupting the status quo. You’ll leave not only with a post-run buzz and something yummy, but also the knowledge of what gin, brick dust and Gorillas have got to do with chocolate.

Leisurely and enjoyable (with a chance to go for it midway through!).
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. 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.
