The Emerald Mile
Date / Time
Length
1.00 miles (1.6 km)
Description
This year, the Birmingham St. Patrick’s Festival in partnership with Kiely Bro’s is kicking off the St. Patrick’s Parade Day 2017 with the first ever St. Patrick's fun run!
Following the same route as our beloved Parade, the Emerald Mile will begin at 10am at South and City College on Sunday 12th March 2017. You can run, jog, dance or walk the fun run, and fancy dress is encouraged - the crazier the better!
The Emerald Mile will be a great opportunity for the whole community to get involved with the St. Patrick’s Parade Day fun whilst raising some vital funds for charity. You can run for any chosen charity of your choice, but if you would like to donate your sponsorship to the Birmingham St. Patrick’s Festival and Parade, all funds will go back into ensuring the Birmingham St. Patrick’s Parade will continue in future years. Entrants will be capped at 250 runners, and must pay an admin fee of £10 (adults) or £5 (kids under 16) - it is then up to you to gather as many sponsorship pledges as possible ahead of the Parade Day! We'll help you where we can with sponsorship forms, posters and other marketing literature.
