Thanks are extended to Smith’s Wood Sports College for hosting and marshalling this race.

• Date:

  Tuesday 20th September 2011

• Venue:

  Smith’s Wood Sports College
  Windward Way
  Smith’s Wood
  Birmingham
  B36 0UE

• Instructions:

  Changing facilities are limited so students are advised to come ready changed. There will be toilets available but spikes must absolutely not be worn inside the building. Could all team managers report to me on arrival - I should be found at the finish line.

  The course is suitable for spikes. The course is mostly on grass with a loop through the woods for all runners.

  The course will be marked with flags, cones and tape. Markers should be kept to the runners’ left. Runners should ensure that they are near the start at least ten minutes before the race is due to begin.
