More than 7,000 people of all abilities have signed up to take part in this weekend's Simplyhealth Great Birmingham 10k run.

The event returns to the streets of Birmingham on Sunday, May 6 - and it will mean road closures.

Starting on Jennens Road, next to Aston University, the route heads downhill past Selfridges and the Bullring Shopping Centre and into Digbeth.

It then goes along Pershore Road to the furthest turn point at Cannon Hill Park.

The route winds through the park and then crosses the road outside of Edgbaston Cricket Ground.

It passes Calthorpe Park before returning back through Digbeth and up a short hill, back to Jennens Road where runners will finish by the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.
