Ironbridge Half Marathon 2018 | Telford Harriers

Sunday 25th March 2018, and its time for the annual Ironbridge Half Marathon, staged by Telford Harriers.
The race is a 13.1 mile route starting at Telford Town Park and taking runners along the Silkin Way, into historic Coalport, Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale before entering Rough Park and attaching bac onto the Silkin way for the run back to the Town Park and the finish.
Its an absolutely fantastic race, very picturesque with lots to see but also tests the best of runners. The first 9 miles are all downhill or relatively flat as you run from Telford into Ironbridge, but what goes down must come up and the final 4 miles are all uphill.
The whole event was fantastic, from the route to the marshalls. Medals and technical tshirts were given out in a cool Ironbridge Half bag that will come in useful at most events. Even the weather played ball with sun and blue skies.
Ive tried to show as much of the route as possible without the video going on for too long. Sadly my GoPro ran out just as i was on the last 100 meters home which was a but frustrating, but all good.
Hope you enjoy the video.
