Birmingham Running Festival

Join us for the Birmingham Running Festival 5K, 10K, Half Marathon & Juniors in support of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity on Sunday 7th February 2027!

Midlands Air Ambulance Charity delivers exceptional pre-hospital care and lifesaving interventions through its helicopter-led emergency medical services (HEMS). Start your 2027 running season with a winter challenge at Sutton Park in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham. Taking place in support of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, this event brings runners, families and supporters together for a brilliant race morning just 6 miles from Birmingham City Centre. Set within the 2,400 acre National Nature Reserve, the route follows scenic park paths through one of the Midlands’ most loved green spaces. As the home of the National Road Relays, Sutton Park has welcomed some of Britain’s best distance runners, including Sir Mo Farah, Andy Vernon and many more GB greats.

Choose from the 5K, 10K, Half Marathon or Junior Race and enjoy a well-organised, chip-timed event with accurately marked miles, supportive marshals and plenty of encouragement all the way to the chequered flag finish.
