If you were trying to decide which of the Birmingham parkruns to do then I thought a guide from a Brummie who has done them may be helpful. Note I have included a couple which are technically not Birmingham. Or maybe you consider that they are due to postcode. Either way, as a Brummie they are the ones I would class as Birmingham parkruns and as such have included them here.<\/p>\n\n\n

About Birmingham parkruns<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So we are going to consider 9 Birmingham parkruns. These are made up of one which unfortunately does not run anymore; three that aren\u2019t technically Birmingham (or may not be considered as such by the residents that live there) and a further five that definitely are Birmingham!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Birmingham parkruns Which No Longer Run<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, currently there is only one of the Birmingham parkruns which no longer runs. This is Aston Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aston Hall parkrun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aston Hall parkrun<\/a> was an unusual one in that it was allowed to be set up without a proper core team. Set up with investments by Aston Villa Foundation it only really attracted tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n

Birmingham parkruns that Aren\u2019t Really in Brum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many people from outside of Birmingham will most likely consider these to be Birmingham parkruns. Both Babbs Mill parkrun and Brueton parkrun are in Solihull. Babbs Mill parkrun used to be in Birmingham but the area became North Solihull. This was long before the creation of its parkrun. Many people I know from Sutton Coldfield do not like to think of it as being Birmingham!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
