The ROCUP Story

ROCUP is more than just a Birmingham Run Club; it's a community built on the ethos of Rise Over Challenges. Founded by Rudy O’Halloran, a 30-year-old personal trainer, ROCUP has grown from a humble start to become the littest Birmingham Run Club.

In November 2023, Rudy launched the first run with just 17 members. Since then, ROCUP has consistently grown, averaging over 250 people every weekend.
Rudy's journey with running began during a tough period in his life when he used running as a tool to overcome his own challenges. He recognised the power of community and knew many others like him could benefit from the same support. And so, the littest Birmingham Run Club was born.
Running is more than fitness, there's a social element to it that everybody needs. It’s a place where you can meet new people in a positive environment while also continuing or starting your fitness journey.
Join us at ROCUP and be part of a community that helps you rise over challenges, together.
