Wasn't sure what go expect with it being my first race, but it was so well organised from the start to finish. Bags were dropped in Wolverhampton and taken to Birmingham for collections. Route was well sign posted all along the route and lovely Marshalls to encourage you on.
The goody bags were a lovely bonus also medals and t shirts. Would definitely do this race again.
Thank you!!
