Running for President


Our President Richard Ennis will be taking part in the Morrisons Great Birmingham Run on Sunday 18th October. This year sees a new course for the half marathon which will start by “ThinkTank”, and pass by the Bull Ring and Edgbaston Cricket ground before ending in Broad Street. 

When asked what time he hoped to achieve Richard said:- 

“It’s difficult to tell because it is a new course compared to previous years. My half marathon PB is 1:52:54 and my PB for Birmingham is 1:57:25 so I’d be happy with anything sub 2hrs.” 

On this occasion Richard will be running in his capacity as President of Wolverhampton Law Society. 

“The Presidential “gong” is going to be making the trip with me and I am dedicating the run this year to the memory of Peter Horsley.” 

Richard is aiming to raise funds for local charities Action Heart and Beacon Centre for the Blind. You can make donations by contacting Richard care of Rees Page or at the following Just Giving pages:-
