The race would not be possible without the following:
Up & Running
Based in central Birmingham this shop offers a great range of clothes, trainers and other running related kit. The staff are very helpful and offer advice on training and as well as in-store gait analysis. If you are looking for a new pair of running shoes before the race - this is a great place to look! The team from Up & Running will be on hand at the end of the race to hand out the drinks.
Bannatyne's Health Club
Based in Brindleyplace - the finish line of our race! Bannatyne's offers a gym and health spa. Bannatyne's have offered to provide runners with goody bags at the end of the race. If you're feeling fit after 13.1 miles, why not drop in and ask them about membership! Bannatyne's also have other health clubs throughout the country.
KPMG
Partners and staff of KPMG's Birmingham office have supported the race since its inception in 2007, both as runners and marshals. They will once again provide the majority of the volunteers on the day - please show your appreciation to them!
Science in Sport
SIS are supplying the drinks that will be handed out on the course by our marshals. We will be handing out PSP22, a carbohydrate energy drink designed for dynamic sports performance.
Brindleyplace
Thanks to Tracey and the team at Brindleyplace for accomodating us and giving us free use of the area on race day! Brindleyplace is a great place for your friends/family to meet up and cheer you on in the last few metres of the race, and offers lots of bars and restaurants for you to rest afterwards!
British Waterways
Thanks to Jessica Black and everyone at British Waterways for giving their time and guidance, and for letting us use the brilliant canal network for the race - an underrated and underused resource in the Midlands.
And thanks to:
Local running clubs supporting the race: Stourbridge, Dudley Kingswinford, KPMG and Aldridge.
All the runners raising money for charity.
Everyone who helped the race get started in 2007.
All the other canal users for putting up with us for the day.
Everyone else who is taking part!
