TRAFFIC INFORMATION

Key Notes: The event will be delivered by OSB Events, with support from Lincoln City Council and Lincolnshire County Council. If this document does not include the information you require, please email info@osbevents.com There will be around 3,000 runners taking part in the event, with approximately 4,000 spectators expected. As a result, the roads are likely to be busier than normal on the day of the event. If you have any planned journeys, please allow additional time. The majority of pavements on the course will be open as normal. 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. Access under Wigford Way and Brayford Way flyovers will be restricted.
