Wolves Foundation makes Great Birmingham Run plea

A Premier League football club's foundation has made an appeal for fans to be part of their team for the Great Birmingham Run 2025.

Wolverhampton Wanderers' former players, Wolves Foundation ambassadors, staff and supporters will take part in the race on Sunday 4 May.

Thousands of runners will hit the streets of Birmingham on the day to raise money for the charity of their choice.

The club said they had a limited number of places available to join the Foundation team.

Laura Cahill, fundraising and events executive at the Wolves Foundation, said: "We are aiming this year to build up a running group including both supporters and representatives from across the club and Foundation, and so being able to take part in the Great Birmingham Run is a positive step – quite literally – in the right direction.

"It is always a fantastic event, and we are all looking forward to joining colleagues from other football teams across the Midlands, and the thousands of runners, for a brilliant experience."

Wolves will be joined by Aston Villa, West Bromwich Albion and Birmingham City as all four Midlands rivals unite to show support for grassroots community projects and nurturing the next generation of football fans.
