A reminder that this Saturday 5th March, Run Plus and anyone from Run fitness who wants to come along, are running into Birmingham along the canals.
We meet at our usual time of 8:30am at Chester Road Train Station – I suggest we meet in the car park.
After the run we are heading to The Solomon Cutler on Broad Street for a well-deserved ‘spoons Breakfast’!
If you are coming please indicate on the normal Saturday morning WhatsApp Bubbles.
For route maps please see the link and there is also a description below. I suggest anyone coming along brings the following:
- Spare top (around waist if necessary)
