In case you'd missed it - The Commonwealth Games are taking place in and around Birmingham this summer.
Most events require payment but there are a few that take place on public roads and spaces including the marathon on Saturday 30th July 07:00 - 13:30.
The above link takes you to more details and the route which is basically a loop from Digbeth, down Pershore Road, around Cannon Hill Park, on to Stirtchley, Bournville & Selly Oak before returning back along the Pershore Road. The finishing route is then into town around the roads including Hurst Street & Broad Street finishing along Colmore Row into Victoria Square.
The centre of town might get pretty busy so to avoid crowds come *early or sketch elsewhere along the route. In the afternoon I propose sketching Birmingham City Council's floral display that commemorates the Commonwealth Games coming to Birmingham and has just won a gold award at Chelsea.
(*not sure what time I'm getting there or where I'll be at the moment!)
