Race against climate change

On 26th October 2008 Birmingham will stage its first ever half marathon organised by Birmingham City Council and this historic Race Against Climate Change is sponsored by EDF Energy.

The EDF Energy Birmingham Half Marathon, which is 13.1 miles long, will start outside the Birmingham Alexander Stadium in Perry Barr, a fitting venue given that the stadium has hosted numerous international and national athletic events.
The runners will then make their way into Birmingham City Centre and will finish on Broad Street next to Centenary Square.
Everyone who takes part in the EDF Energy Birmingham Half Marathon will receive an official t-shirt and a medal.
