Great Birmingham 10k:
More than 6,500 people finished the Great Birmingham 10k on Sunday on another blistering weekend. Among them were dozens of K&D’ers. As shown recently in London running in that kind of heat slows runners down, so it wasn’t a PB weekend.
A big well done to Graham and Caroline Edwards who stopped their own race to administer first aid to a runner who had taken a tumble. Showing true K&D spirit. Also a big high five to Elizabeth Williams who defied the heat to scorch to a new PB.
