Due to low numbers in the Black Country Fun Run in the last 2 events organised by Halesowen & Rowley Regis Rotary it has been decided to have a gap year and we hope to reinstate the event in 2024. The Fun Run is for raising charity money so we do need many more participants.

This is despite the attraction of the Queens Baton in Halesowen. As you would expect a lot of hard work goes into organising such events but it appears there is reduced appetite for such an event. Entry fees are competitively priced but the financial crisis is also a factor.

Apologies to residents on Lodgefield Estate. Due to generator issues we have had to cancel Santa's appearance tonight. We will look to find an alternative date ASAP.
Here's our timetable for Santa's Sleigh in Halesowen, Rowley Regis and Cradley Heath in the run up to Christmas. Please click on the timetable for full details, then retweet please!

@BlackCountryRun Sunday 24th July 2022.
The Birmingham 2022 Queens Baton Relay will arrive in Halesowen on the day arriving between the Race and Fun Run!
Be a part of history! Take part, raise funds for YOUR charity.
We'd love to see you there!
Great to see West Midlands Mayor Andy Street will be running in the 10k again. Andy has supported The Black Country Run each year since 2018

Blind Dave Heeley has dusted off his running shoes again after Covid-19 closed all runs down. Dave will be joining us in Halesowen on the 12th September and as usual he'll be running the 10k and then running with all the children in the Family Fun Run.
For any Line of Duty fans - local actor Greg Piper, who played Ryan Pilkington in the popular series, will be one of our special guests starting the runners off at this year's event.
