Organised in conjunction with Bury Council, event organisers Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All are now advising runners, spectators, residents and visitors that a number of the city’s roads will be closed or have access restricted to ensure the safety of all those taking part.

The event will require the closure of roads and road junctions as well as the suspension of a number of Traffic Regulation Orders between 8:30am on Sunday 15, September and 12:30pm on Sunday 15 September 2024. There will also be a number of parking suspensions in place from 7am on Saturday, 14 September to 3pm on Sunday, 15 September.

The course will then loop back to the town centre via Brandlesholme Road, Woodhill Road, Castlecroft Road and Bolton Street before runners cross the finish
