THE FULL RUN-DOWN.
We’ll retrace the footsteps of the Cadbury Family from small chocolate shop to 2nd biggest confectionery brand in the World, telling tales at each stop including legal battles over the colour purple, fights with Mars and feeding the Queen.
Visit blissful Bournville, the revolutionary model village that’s retained it’s Quaker ideals for over 100 years (or has it?), or the original sites in our city centre where something sweet began.
It’s a story of sacrifice, scandal and disrupting the status quo. You’ll leave not only with a post-run buzz and something yummy, but also the knowledge of what gin, brick dust and Gorillas have got to do with chocolate.
Optional Extras:
#1 Post-Run Brummie Beer (+£3)
A cold, crisp can from Brum Brewery – the perfectly cheeky way to end your run in what was once a dry, teetotal village.
#2 RUN BHX Tee (+£25)
A Cadbury purple & white limited edition activewear tee, inspired by Bournville pride. Wear it on the run or take it away.
