Fradley 10k
The Harriers were out enjoying some spring sunshine at the Florette Fradley 10K on the 8th March.
I always look upon this race as the season opener ! A short drive to a little village just outside Lichfield for a popular and well attended event.… Read the rest
Birmingham Winter Warmer 10k
A challenging two lap run around Sutton Park, some of the inclines are unforgiving but its a lovely course and would recommend this race.
The Mo Run in November use the same course route if anyone fancies the challenge.
