The largest turnout ever saw 160 riders take part in this years (2009) Mike Hailwood Memorial Run from Bracebridge Street to Tanworth in Arden were Mike and his daughter Michelle are buried. There were some very suprised people in Kings Heath High Street when the procession brought the shopping area to a standstill as it made its way out to Portway before turning for the beautiful Warwicksire village of Tanworth in Arden were Mike and his family had moved to before the tragic accident in 1981.
2009 was the first year that Mikes son, David Hailwood, had attended and we thank him for riding up from London.
The first day of summer, March 29th, lived up to its name and the weather could not have been better for this very popular event which is organised by THE BIRMINGHAM TESTERS RUN.
