It has always been long by about 0.15 mile, but last year added a large amount with course change and no change to start and end. Having said that, I've entered agai this year, travel to bham by train, then wolves, run back to bham and go home by train. Manage a few beers in Brindley Place before we go hone
You guys are really working me now, I've had no communication from the organiser. i understood the packs etc would be coming out soon, I guess no one has one yet? what is also worrying is that neither I nor my brother in law are on that list of entrants despite having an email confirmation from runners world. What's going on????
Sarah I did this last year, the run is fantastic but the communication before hand is rubbish! I got my pack 3 days before event last year, they don't start sending packs out until the Monday before the event. Your name will only be on the list if you entered through Stuweb, like me entering through runners world you'll only appear on the results page - madness I know.
Thanks Dizzy, it's very frustrating I have to organise child care and I don't know my start time so can't estimate my finish so it's rather tricky!!! 3 days before is a bit late. Oh well
Yeah, I was starting to worry about this too - hence why I'm looking on this wall. Just checked my emails again to check I have actually had confirmation. Anybody know what sort of time I need to be there by? I'm trying to work out what time train to get.
Richard it's supposed to be a staggered start so I'm guessing the 9 o'clock on the confirmation email is just a generic time for everyone. I don't know how staggered, don't want to be hanging around for hours in Wolverhampton.
i have gone through the Entry form online and Paid but i have not recieved the Conformation email that i was told i would recuieve on copmpletion of the application.
Can anyone confirm if they have recieved my application please?
Glad I am not the only one! Admittedly I didn't enter until last week but no pack received so I have no idea of start time. My post comes really late so if it doesn't come tomorrow I will be really panicking. I have also emailed organiser but no response. I am not on the list of starters but I did enter via runners world.
All the issues seem to affect Runners Worlds entrants - not sure if there is a communication issue? I'm not aware (from last years experiance) of there being an helpdesk on the day, so without a number I can't see a point in travelling.
Has anyone had any communication with the organiser?

...and boats wouldn't be able to get past!
LOL - I hadn't realised that was what was meant - I assumed he meant running (no pun intended) parallel to the towpath

Anyone know whats going on with the bbchm website? doesn't seem to work. I have e-mailed them to check that my entry is in but not had a response???
Hi Matt, website address is www.bbchm.net . But it hasn't been updated since last year! Lack of comms this year is a bit worrying but you can get a list of entrants here http://www.stuweb.co.uk/events/2014/07/05/1550/
I would like to do this race again but the lack of update on website and no reply to email sent is off putting!

Thanks for the info about the packs. I was beginning to wonder why I hadn't gotten anything.
IIRC last year the elites started off at 9am, and everyone was away by 11.30am.
I put 1:55 as an estimated time last year and got a start slot of 10.30am, so you could guesstimate based on that.
Is there different medeals for differnet finish times or is it a medal for completion?
I ran Potters Arf in 1hr 53 so i will be targeting the same or less as Potters is Very Hilly.
This will be my 1st event other than the Potters

Where can I find my start time ?
I've entered, but got no pack, no start time, no nothing.....
Following on i'm not on the start list, but reading previous comments i won't be as I did not enter on RW. Complicated or what?!?! : )
Not sure if I turn up if not here tommorow
