| Carver Wolverhampton City Marathon United Kingdom Wolverhampton Marathon September marathonsecretary@carvers.co.uk http://www.wolverhamptoncitymarathon.co.uk "The Wolverhampton marathon was first organised in 1982 and became an annual event in the town up to 1987.There was then an eleven year gap when the event disappeared completely from the towns calendar of events.In 1997, Roy Carver, then Chairman of Carver (Wolverhampton) Limited was appointed as the area president of the St. John Ambulance and headed a committee to raise funds to construct the new Wolverhampton headquarters in Wharf Street.Various fundraising events were considered and a chance conversation between Roy Carver and Ivan Savage, Carver's Group sales director, an experienced marathon runner and triathlete, brought to the fore the possibility of resurrecting the marathon and an accompanying half marathon race." |
