Run a half marathon for CDCH in the Birmingham Running Festival in the beautiful Sutton Park, a 2,400 acre National Nature Reserve in Birmingham.

Running the Birmingham Running Festival half marathon for CDCH is an incredible opportunity to make a meaningful impact while embarking on a thrilling personal journey.

By choosing to support our cause through this event, you are not only challenging yourself physically but also contributing to a brighter future for animals in need. Our charity's mission is to provide a safe space for vulnerable animals. Every step you take during this exhilarating race brings us one step closer to achieving our goals.

The home of the National Road Relays, you will be running on the paths once pounded by Sir Mo Farah, Andy Vernon and many more of our GB greats through the 2,400 acre National Nature Reserve.

Join us in the Birmingham Running Festival, and let your stride make a difference. Together, we can build a brighter future for those who rely on our charity's support, and you'll carry the memory of this remarkable journey with you for a lifetime. Your commitment and determination can transform lives, and we can't wait to have you on our team.

Lace-up your running shoes and be a part of something extraordinary!
