Join #TeamShine at the Great Birmingham Run Half Marathon!

The AJ Bell Great Birmingham Run is the Midlands’ biggest and best running event. Join the thousands of people pounding the streets every year to rise to the challenge.

There’s everything you’d expect from a Great Run event - 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.

Have a look at the 2026 highlights video.

And you can see the half-marathon route map here.

Don’t miss out... sign up today for a guaranteed place in this popular event!

If a half-marathon seems a little too far, why not look at the 10K Run instead?

 

Would you like to take part?

Date: Sunday 2nd May 2027 
Location: Birmingham  
Registration fee: £30
Minimum sponsorship pledge: £200 

The minimum age to take part is 17 as of race day.

 

Charity places

Shine has a limited number of charity places available. Book your spot on the start line today by clicking ‘sign up now’. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so act fast to avoid disappointment.

 

Do you have your own place?  

If you have a general entry place in the race, we would love to have you as part of #TeamShine! With no minimum sponsorship pledge or registration fee, we simply ask you to raise as much as you can to support members living with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, and their families. Plus, you'll have access to all the great benefits above.

To join Shine with your own place, complete this short form.

 

Accessibility

The Great Runs are suitable for wheelchair entries - please see the FAQs on their website for more information or see their policies here.

If you are a wheelchair participant and will require an assistant/pusher, that person may have a free place. Once you've signed up for your own place, please contact us so we can advise you on the next steps.

2. I will let Shine know immediately if I am no longer able to take part in the challenge so that Shine can reallocate my place to another participant if possible. I understand that Shine may be able to transfer my place to the following year or another event, but this decision is at the discretion of Shine and will be discussed with me at the time of cancellation.

3. To use my best endeavours to raise at least the minimum sponsorship listed above for Shine in order to participate in the Challenge named above, and that if I fail to do so I must pay the difference to the Charity.

We take data protection very seriously at Shine and have all the appropriate data sharing agreements in place with third parties to ensure the protection of your data. You can view our Privacy Policy on our website.

8. To keep Shine up to date with progress and to contact Shine well in advance of putting on any public event.

10. To ensure good care and timely return of any Shine equipment (e.g. collection pots)

11. To participate in any publicity activities as requested by Shine, ahead of or after the Challenge, unless agreed in writing with the Charity.

14. Not to raise funds by carrying out house-to-house collections or a lottery.

15. Not to do anything to bring the name of the Charity into disrepute.

16. That any information obtained/used in the course of fundraising will be owned by Shine, and any other client or charity will not be allowed to have the benefit of that information without the Charity's consent.

17. To indemnify Shine in respect of any costs, claims, loss or liability caused to the Charity, as a result of any breach by the participant of the terms of this agreement.

I understand that Shine may terminate my rights to fundraise or to take part in the above event at any time.
