RUN OF A KIND.

We had a lovely morning running round Birmingham on Sunday with a very informative guide (Hannah). Nominally a 10k route, with historic buildings, modern street art, along the canals, finding new corners of the city that I didn't know before.

I recently came across Run of a Kind. I'm fairly new to running and found this experience highly rewarding as I've improved my running distance, made new friends and learnt new things about the city. Definitely recommend 🙂

We’re in Birmingham for the Commonwealth Games and what better way to explore the city than on a run, such a great idea from Lucy who started run of a kind. We got to see and learn about much more than if we walked/ran ourselves and it was great to learn about the city from a local. We absolutely loved this tour, met some super interesting people and got to do some exercise at the same time. It’s a must do activity for anyone visiting Birmingham, can’t recommend it enough! Thank for adding an additional tour for us to accomodate our schedule, we’re so happy we got to the tour! Best wishes, Clare x

I really loved the running tour of Birmingham with Run Of A Kind. Despite being a lifelong Brummie I learned loads of new facts and stories about the my city and its history, and saw a few new places along the way. As a novice runner I was a bit nervous about whether I'd be able to keep up or not, but the pace was really relaxed and there were plenty of stops to hear about our surroundings. Lucy was really lovely and welcoming, she introduced herself and got the group to do the same, and very soon we were all chatting to each other while running between the sights. By the end of the tour we had all made some new friends and I was really surprised at how much ground we had covered. I'd recommend it to anyone, and will definitely be going back when covid restrictions are lifted.

Absolutely LOVE!!! RUN OF A KIND! Such a great way to see the city. Lucy took us to so many places I would never have seen otherwise. We learnt a lot about the history of Birmingham, lots of interesting facts. The pace was perfect, not too quick or slow, whatever works best for the group. They're always super friendly too. We stopped at the pub for a nice social afterwards as well which was optional but really adds to the friendly social feel. Would 100% recommend.

Such a great way to see different parts of Birmingham, learn some fun facts and meet some lovely people (all while going for a run)! Even as someone who's lived in Birmingham nearly 10 years I still learned a lot and really enjoyed it. I'd definitely recommend booking onto one of their running tours whether you're new to Brum or not.

I have thoroughly enjoyed each tour Run of a Kind have created. The team are so friendly and encouraging, and the tours are varied and interesting. Even as a local, I've learnt so much about Birmingham and its surrounding areas. Highly recommend to both new runners and experienced ones alike!
