A number of roads will be closed next Sunday when hundreds of runners again take to the streets for the Watford Half Marathon.
The popular annual event, which is organised by Active Training World, will start at 10am on February 2 in Cassiobury Park, with a fun run for younger participants getting underway 30 minutes beforehand.
For the first time, a 10k will start alongside the Half Marathon.
This will take participants along a fully closed route from the park into Langley Way and onto Cassiobury Drive. Runners will then turn into Grove Mill Lane and run alongside the Grand Union Canal before returning to the park.
A lead car escort will take participants in the half marathon route into the country lanes behind The Grove and golf course, through Bucks Hill, Commonwood Common and Chandlers Cross before looping back to Cassiobury Park.
More information about the race, including entry details, is available at https://www.atwevents.co.uk/e/atw-watford-half-marathon-8841.
