DIARY
There’s mention of cakes, doughnuts and the Big Apple in our regular roundup of race events. There’s a healthy mix of north, south, old and new too so whatever your motivation (aside from cake), we’ll see you on the start line soon!
TEAM AND ALL LEVELS
TWELVEIN TWELVE SERIES
An incredible race series that can be adjusted to suit any level. A total of 12 races held on consecutive days in Spring 2023; you choose the distance – from 5K, 10K, half, marathon to ultra – and you can complete as many, or as few, laps as you like each day. You can even use some of the days as recovery runs if you need. The laps are 5.3K out-and-back loops along the river.

BIRMINGHAM RUNNING FESTIVAL
The perfect race to enter as a big team, this is a Sunday event offering 5K, 10K and half marathon distances and it’s held at Sutton Park, a nature reserve in Sutton Coldfield. It’s the home of the National Road Relays and you will be running on paths once pounded by many GB greats, including Sir Mo Farah. Enter individually or as a team of six. Organiser Run Through is offering discounts for larger teams and corporate events groups as well – so why not get the whole gang involved?
