We aim to minimise disruption for residents on race day. Here is some information to help you get about during the race. You won’t be able to drive on roads that are closed. Many roads will only be closed for a short period. If you live on the route and will need to leave by car during the road closure we advise that you move your car before the closure starts at 8:15am. If you are travelling into the town, please follow the diversion routes to avoid the closed roads.
Spectator Information: The race will take place on fully closed roads for the safety of the runners and the volunteers. Therefore, we ask that you listen to Marshals and stay off the course until runners have passed. We suggest that spectators watch the start and finish on Queen Street. The route has good pavement coverage so feel free to cheer on from all areas.
