The Great Run crew are great, promoting running for all, mixed abilities are welcome to all theirs events, for this reason waves are mixed and associated to music of your choice, this may frustrate some club runners as a result of weaving from different pace groups.
atmosphere was great on this out & back course, turn around point was the popular Cannon Hill Park, through the famous Edgbadton Cricket Ground, a treat to those you have not accessed the venue before. Returning to Brum’s skyline, you pass the Bullring, the futuristic Selfridges building, sharp incline to the new finish point at Millennium Point, a green space there allows friends and family meet and greet.
The medal for these events has a much the same feel to them, a step down from the Bupa sponsored era, goody bag was well stocked.
Certainly an event for mixed abilty, Running with work colleagues with a big city feel
