In short: Vast room for improvement
In full: Agree with comments re the lack of organisation at the start. The starting pens were not properly organised and so were a free for all. There was a bottle neck bringing you to a standstill only 10 yards into the race. Water stations were not sign posted and so you had to make a bit of a last minute swerve to try to grab a bottle. The water marshalls were working very hard at the stations but there just weren't enough marshalls to keep up with demand. Once you found your stride it was a pretty quick course - the only hill of note being the one just after mile 10 but it wasn't that difficult. The atmosphere was great around the course. I will do it again but only because it is my home city event and for no other reason. The organisers could do with speaking with their counter-parts in Nottingham who know how to stage a brilliant big city event (including a marathon option - please take note Birmingham sports council)
