Despite a gloomy forecast in the lead-up to race day, the weather held off, and we were treated to dry skies for the 2025 7 Pools Run on Sunday, 23rd March. At exactly 11:00 AM, runners set off from the start line in Sutton Park, led by none other than Grant Dempsey, founder of the Sunday Running Club (SRC), and joined by the Mayor of Sutton Coldfield.
Running For Charity
This year’s 10km cross-country challenge brought together a brilliant crowd of runners, supporters, and volunteers, all united for a great cause. Every penny of profit from the event is going to Kids, a local charity dedicated to supporting disabled children, young people, and their families. Your participation and contributions have made a real difference—thank you to everyone who ran, donated, cheered, and helped out behind the scenes.
