Welcome to the running podcast where three mates from Birmingham swap miles for mics and share more than just blisters! Ben Blakeman, Jake Ramsey & Mike Duffy, a trio at very different points on their running journeys, but all equally skilled at dodging training plans and telling a good story.

Ben Blakeman heads out to trial a potential brand-new parkrun in Birmingham, joined by Ben Stevens. This exciting test event is being led by Kevin Oakes and the amazing team at South Birmingham Striders Running Club.

In this video, you’ll hear the thoughts of both Ben’s and Kevin on how the very first trial went, what makes this course special, and what it could mean for the Birmingham running community.

If you love parkrun, running clubs, and exploring new routes, this is one you don’t want to miss!

Let us know in the comments what you think of the potential new parkrun — would you run it?
