DavidM Aug 2012 10:27pm, 24 Aug 2012 4 posts	0 DavidM Well I've only gone and signed up for this years race on Sunday 21st October. Now I've just got to keep my training on track for the next 8 weeks. Been living in Birmingham since 1987 and never knew we had a half marathon in the City. Then again I've come to running late in life.
Ness Aug 2012 3:01pm, 27 Aug 2012 5,034 posts	0 Ness Good luck. I ran it on the first three occasions it was run. The third year was marred by really terrible organisation causing bottlenecks at the start and end of the race. Last year it was taken over & became a "Great Run". Think the organisation was a lot better but I was too tight to pay the £30 entry fee.
