My 2nd time running this event and it won't be the last.
As it is part of the Bromsgrove carnival there is lots of local support especially at the finish line.

Registration was quick and simple. The start of the race is on the road which is of course closed. The route itself is lovely. Looped in one section which you go around twice before you take on the famous hill which is a (insert your own swear word here). What a hill it is - once you eventually get to the top it is pretty much all downhill for the last 1.5k.
Marked out well however when it came to entering the loop for the 2nd time, it was not overly clear if you needed to be on the left or the right. The sign pointing to the right was covered by the marshalls. The marshalls were on the ball though and we were directed on which way to go.

Once we got through the finish, we were presented with our fab medals and pointed in the direct of water and beer. Ys that's right beer! What more can you want?!

I would highly recomment this race to anyone who likes a bit of a challenging hill.
