Report

This was the second Birmingham Half. It started 60 mins after the women and 30 mins after the men in the IAAF World Championship Half Marathon being held in Birmingham for 2009, and was run over mostly the same route, so there was a blue line to follow.

Numbers in the mass race were up on last year, with over 10,000 finishers. Organisation was good, and the start in central Birmingham meant more runners could use public transport and avoid the traffic problems that led to a delayed start in 2008 at the Alexander Stadium. Results were up on the website by the evening of race day.

A potential PB route, with a downhill start, then mostly flat apart from a noticeable 30m rise mid-way and a 40m climb in the last mile. An out and back route taking in Cannon Hill Park and Edgbaston, with start and finish adjacent to Centenary Square.
