Runners from both Birmingham and Solihull GoodGyms descended upon Birmingham today to run the annual Birmingham Half Marathon - well done to Morwenna, Rob, Laura, Rauul, David, Chris and Balal who all took part and finished!

The day started off very wet but fortunately, the rain had let up by the time it was about to start. Just before it was about to start, we were informed that there as a last minute amendment to the course and the race had to be cut short by about two miles (hence the pun!) - but it was still a great day with some really good running from everyone!

The race started on New Street, heading out down Pershore road towards Stirchley and then back to the city centre. It was a great course (a couple of horrible inclines but not too many!) with a lot of noise and support all the way.

Well done everyone and a special thanks to GoodGymers John, Sam, Liam, George and Miriam for coming out to support us today!
