Route Profile

05 Jul 2009

The course is predominantly straight and flat, using roads that will be closed to traffic. The race starts on Broad Street. There is a short sharp descent in the first kilometre, followed by a circuit of the markets area and then a long flat section until around 10k. This is interrupted only by a lap around the picturesque Cannon Hill Park. From 10k to 16k there is an undulating loop through Bournville and Selly Park before rejoining Pershore Road for the straight and flat return to the City Centre and a climb to the finish back in Broad Street.
