Join us for a special edition of The Goodsyard Run Club as part of Birmingham Heritage Week, where we’ll take you on a 5K guided running tour of one of the city’s most special neighbourhoods – the Jewellery Quarter.
With storytelling stops to soak in the sights, you’ll learn:
✨ How Birmingham became the World’s jewellery-making capital
🔨 Why the JQ has been a hub of skilled makers and inventors for 450+ years
🕰️ The secrets behind landmarks like the Chamberlain Clock and the Assay Office
🏆 How Birmingham made the FA Cup… and lost it
We’ll run past key sites, hear tales of innovation, industry and intrigue, and celebrate the Brummie spirit – the graft, the grime, and the gold and silver.
Option to stay after for a drink and a natter in a Jewellery Quarter venue.
This isn’t just a run. It’s a moving story of heritage, hustle, and hallmarks.
We can’t wait to run with you 🧡
