Results for the Shin Dig in the Shire Half Marathon – 20.5.17
Set under the back drop of the Clee Hills, this route left the Sun Brewery in the sleepy village of Corfton, and climbed upwards via grassy tracks and open farmland to Pinstones before dropping down through ancient woodland towards Westhope. Runners then picked up a single track lane and an old bridle way that crosses a ford before climbing up onto Wenlock Edge (Wenlock Edge is an 18 mile stretch of ancient woodland that was once a coral reef). The course takes in a section of the Edge before dropping up and down to Flounder’s Folly and joining more bridle ways and farmland to bring competitors to the final descent of the brewery.
