Results for the Birmingham International Marathon, 15-Oct-2017

October 18, 2017

Thanks to Darren Hallett for the following report and photo: I decided to give the inaugural Birmingham Marathon a go. Starting at Alexander stadium the course cuts through the middle of the city centre before heading out towards Bourneville (via Edgebaston) for a couple of 9 mile loops before finishing back in the centre. The course was wall marshalled and support was steady throughout. Other than one steep hill near Bourneville the course was relatively flat with only a couple of areas of undulation.

Good transport links using the metro with free parking at the stations outside the city. Overall a good event with that big city feel.
