LA5 – Final Race info
I hope you’re all looking forward to the Little Aston 5 mile road race and 2 mile fun run. The weather forecast is great so it should be a cracking day. If you have already paid for your entry your number will be at race HQ (Little Aston School, Forge Lane, B74 3BE). Otherwise entries are available on the day (although they are limited for the 5 mile road race).
Parking is available on Forge Lane at the school/recreation ground. Our marshalls will direct you once you get onto Forge Lane. The start time for both races is 11am so get there nice and early to give yourself plenty of time to warm up.
See you tomorrow!
