WARRINGTON Running Festival is set to take place next weekend, with the route spanning across the town. So, here are all the road closures you need to know.
On Sunday, September 22, runners will set off at 9am from Winmarleigh Street for both the half marathon and 10k route.
Both routes will see participants go along Wilson Patten Street before going part way up Mersey Street and then off along Knutsford Road.
After a quick lap around Victoria Park, they’ll head along Black Bear Park and the Trans Pennine Trail.
The 10k runners will then circle back near Ackers Road, while those attempting the half marathon past Stockton Heath and along Lumb Brook Road.
When they get to Grappenhall Lane, they too will start their route back to the town centre on Broad Lane.
