is the lung run not held in Sutton Park?

Think Lung Run clashes with moon walk. It is indeedy in Sutton Park. There's a website and it looks like a big event with a bit of a family outing kind of atmos: I like these as it means there's likely to be a giant Womble or someone dressed as a Tweenie that I can actually beat: imagine the shame of being beaten by a Tweenie though!

I'm often in Bearwood as my mate moved there a couple of years ago. My family come from the Halesowen and Bearwood area: it turns out my grandparents met in the big B&W pub but the lights at the top of Bwood high street, my Great Grandad ran the Royal Liver insurance office above what is now Oulsnams eatate agents oppostite and lived opposite Lightwoods park!
I love Bearwood: everything you need with the city centre close by. Old fashioned community feel to it.

Bearwood Athlete, is there a reasonable gym near where you work, or a leisure centre? Then you could run in and shower before work: or just stink up your office!

The Lung Run is on 27th April in Sutton Park. There's a choice of 5K and 10K. Sounds like a good day out, but it clashes with the Shakespeare marathon and 1/2M which are also tempting. I will see how I get on with the Silverstone 1/2M before I decide which to enter...

I thought about Lung Run but thought it would clash with something else, which never transpired anyway!!!!!!!

Sooooooo.... I've decided to do the Dudley Kingswinford 10k which is on Weds May 7th at 7:15 pm.

I am doing the lung run too, although have not actually sent off application form yet.

Anyone know if there are any 10 milers in the B'ham area around May time??

KK, the day after me birthday!

See you all at the Action Heart 6 in Dudley on the 23rd? Perhaps we can swap entry numbers nearer the time.
I feel this thread has wandered a bit from the B.A.'s original query - but it could be the start of a Black Country running team...

Hi All

Just as long as we are all chatting no problems to me!

What about a Black Country Running group sounds good to me as the area has a great tradition - great races and even better pubs!!

Ok all you Black Country Runners stand up and be counted.

I too am running Action Heart hope to meet you all there.
