* To raise money for the hockey club (I'll get a justgiving site or equivalent set up if there is enough interest - which I'm sure there will be...) or alternatively an official charity supported by the event itself * To have a laugh (maybe...) * A bit of competitive spirit! * and lastly - to get fit for the new season! I'm sure our coaches will be keen for you all to get involved
When?
* 24 October - 4 whole months to get training...
How?
* The website for the race is here: http://www.birminghamhalfmarathon.com/ * It takes 10 minutes max. to sign up and costs £25
Where?
* Birmingham - The course is predominantly straight and flat, using roads that will be closed to traffic. The race starts in Paradise Circus. There is a short sharp descent in the first kilometre, followed by a circuit of the markets area and then a long flat section until around 10k. This is interrupted only by a lap around the picturesque Cannon Hill Park. From 10k to 16k there is an undulating loop through Bournville and Selly Park before rejoining Pershore Road for the straight and flat return to the City Centre and a climb to the finish back in Broad Street.
