Congratulations to Keely and Katie on their Big Half Marathon run

Birmingham Irish • September 23, 2025

We are still in Awe of Keely & and Katie!

On Sunday 7 September our amazing Keely Tattersfield and her daughter Katie crossed the finish line of the Big Half Marathon – and we’re still buzzing with pride! 🏃‍♀️💪

Their incredible effort was all in support of the Irish Youth Foundation, and we couldn’t be more inspired by their dedication, spirit, and all the hard work that went into training for the big day. 🌟


From everyone here at Birmingham Irish Association we would like to send a huge congratulations to both Keely and Katie on this fantastic achievement!

“I am delighted to have completed this incredible challenge, it was a really warm day to run in but the atmosphere and knowing the amount of money we had raised kept us going! I am especially proud of Katie who had never run until a year ago and now shes done a half marathon! She done fantastically.”
