“We wrote to residents early last month to let them know which roads would be closed and when.

Roads that will be closed include: Thornton Road, Old Road, North Cliffe Lane, Sapgate Lane, Back Lane, Wilsden Road, Haworth Road, Bingley Road and others.

Last minute entries can be made on Sunday itself by turning up to the starting point close to the Alhambra Theatre in the city centre before 8.30am. A fun run in Lister Park will take place from 9am to 10am with registration opening at 8.15am.

The run’s official charity partner this year is The Jane Tomlinson Appeal. For more information about the event visit www.bradfordcityrun.com
