This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Roundhouse Birmingham

Our Licensed England Athletics Run Leader will meet you at Roundhouse Birmingham, a hidden-gem heritage building positioned along our World-famous canals (we have more of them than Venice did you know). Your Guide will take you through an introduction, warmup, group ice-breaker, and tell you a bit about the History of this building (only the most exciting facts of course), before you start your running tour.

Centenary Square

After running 0.5 miles along the canal, we stop for a breather at our first stop. Here you'll see many sights including Birmingham Library, The Hall of Memory, Baskerville House, and the water feature we like to call the "overly designed puddle". Your guide will tell you some fun facts about these landmarks and introduce how Birmingham first began as a city 1620 years ago.

Jewellery Quarter

After 1 mile of straight running, you'll enter our quaint Jewellery Quarter. A whopping 40% of the UK’s Jewellery is made in our beloved JQ, so it’s no wonder it’s been described as a (literal) national treasure by English Heritage and the place Banksy chose to make his mark. Victorian Cemeteries and quirky residential apartments await you in this small and special area, with a flourishing independent food and drink scene, boutique hotels, industry museums and creative workshops you'll see and want to visit after your run. At this stop your guide will tell you about the history of this area and how important it is within Birminghams History. You'll learn the funny and heart warming stories about the FA Cup that was made here and the Banksy Street Art mural.

Digbeth

After running along a secret canal path and stopping to learn about how they enabled Birmingham to become the power house of the Industrial Revolution, plus the great (and evil) Industrial Inventors, your guide will take you to Digbeth. A neighbourhood voted the Coolest in Britain, it's an adults playground, hub of indepepdents and (street)art gallery on acid. You’ll find things in Digbeth that you won’t find anywhere else in the World and we'll stop to tell you alllllll about it.
