Bournville Harriers

Established in 2000, Bournville Harriers (BvH) has grown to become a popular and competitive running club in the heart of the West Midlands. They are based at the Rowheath Pavilion in the beautiful 'leafy' suburb of Bournville, home of Cadbury's chocolate. Their distinctive teal coloured club vest has been worn at events around the world and is proudly worn by our members regularly competing across the region.

Members all share the common aim - the desire to run, to improve our performance and enjoy the experience of running. Bournville Harriers look to encourage the runner in all of us and to make membership of BvH as fulfilling an experience as possible, where team performance and achievement are allied with personal improvement, participation and enjoyment.

Bournville Harriers meet every Monday and Thursday at Rowheath Pavilion. For more information see here.
