And it’s not just runners who are in for a great day – spectators will be able to watch from the start and finish line, as well as make the most of the festivities and find out more about the charities being supported at the Event Village.

Pubs, bars and restaurants across the city will also be open for celebrations after the race.

But the event does mean a number of roads in the city will be closed for a short period, and some diversions will be in place throughout the day, meaning it is a good idea to plan your journey ahead of time.

So when is the half marathon, what is the route and how can you get involved? This is everything you need to know.
