What do you get if you cross a bus route with a blogger and a brum runner?

A strange question that I've never thought about...until now.

A group of bloggers are attempting to stay on the Number 11 bus for 11 hours on November 11.

We've featured it as a story before in the Mail but I've just had a running related thought (although it may not be original).

After the success of the Birmingham Half marathon, couldn't the council and bus companies team up to make the number 11 route the new route for the first ever Birmingham Marathon? It is pretty much exactly the right length after all.

Any fancy running it? I hear it passes through some picturesque areas.
