Race for Life Birmingham 2026

Race for Life Birmingham is a 5K charity run held in Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham, starting at 10:30am. This event belongs to the Race for Life series, where participants collect funds for cancer research instead of competing in an elite-focused race. The course follows park paths, consisting of two 2.5K circuits, meaning runners complete the same loop twice before crossing the finish line. Both the start and finish are situated on grass, offering the event a distinct atmosphere compared to a typical city race entirely on tarmac.
