I'm going to be in the UK on business the week of Feb. 12th and was thinking about sticking around for the Norwich Union Grand Prix meet in Birmingham on Feb. 17th.
Anyone have any experience attending this meet? They have had world class fields year in and year out, and the ticket prices seem reasonable. Other than that, there is an absolute dearth of information online regarding this meet. I have read about Mo Farah running some sort of mile race (where the runner in last place gets eliminated on each lap) but that's about it. Any word on start lists or event schedules?
How about any tips on Birmingham? Places to stay? Places to run?
I'm going to be stuck in Swindon until Friday morning, but from that point on the world is mine until I fly back to the US on Sunday. I would appreciate any advice I can get.
