BHAMOPENRUNS

BhamOpenRuns is a community-driven initiative dedicated to strengthening bonds and fostering brotherhood among basketball lovers in Birmingham. By hosting elite open runs, it offers a positive outlet for participants, encouraging them to unite through their shared passion for the game. The program emphasizes unity and provides a supportive environment where individuals can enhance their skills and forge lasting connections that extend beyond the court.

While we celebrate the diversity of players who attend, our primary focus is on young adults in the Black community, aiming to instill a sense of hope beyond the challenges their environment may present. In light of the alarming rates of violence in Birmingham, including the highest murder rate in 2024, we strive to offer access to positive experiences that foster hope and opportunity.

We believe that promoting unity and building a brotherhood in a controlled environment on the court can have a profound impact, potentially saving lives off the court. Through BhamOpenRuns, we aim to create a vibrant basketball culture that uplifts and inspires the local community, proving that together, we can overcome adversity.
