If this document does not include the information you require, please There will be around 3,000 runners taking part in the event, with approximately 4,000 spectators expected.

There are two areas on the course where there will be restricted access on footpaths; the first is between Carholme Road and Campus Way on Brayford Way, and the second is between Water Lane and Brayford Wharf North, where participants will follow a barriered section of the course.
