0:00On May 1st, Birmingham's junior and mini-great-run hits Alexander Stadium this Saturday, May 2nd kicking off before the big adult race on Sunday. May 3rd, doors swing open at 8 a.m. with races starting at 9 a.m. sharp. Kids from 3 to 15 years old are lacing up for this family-friendly blast. Youngsters age 3 to 8 tackle a fun 1.5 kilometer mini-loop, while 9 to 15 year olds push a solid 2.5 kilometer. Junior out, organizers are hyping superhero costumes to amp up the vibes, all about building fitness, confidence and straight joy on the track. This event's blowing up as part of the massive, great Birmingham run series, drawing thousands every year. It's sold out completely, showing how families are all in on getting active together. Demand just keeps climbing. Parking's on-site via church road, but heads up, plan your arrival early to dodge the morning rush around Perry Bar. Every finisher gets official times, results online and event photos to relive the moment.
