Thousands of runners anticipated at annual racing events.
Several road closures and parking restrictions will be implemented as runners hit the streets of Leicester this weekend.
Thousands are set to participate in the Run Leicester half-marathon and 10k race on Sunday.
Starting and ending at Victoria Park from 09:15 BST, the route passes through the city center, extending to Thurmaston and Birstall.
Leicester City Council stated that temporary road closures have been clearly signposted along the route in advance.
Race director Andrew Ward stated, “We expect over 4,000 runners, making it the largest running event in the county by far.
“We encourage everyone to come out and support this fantastic event for the entire city. It has a true festival vibe with singers and drummers lining the route.
“We’re excited to see everyone on race day – the atmosphere will be amazing, and the event will raise thousands for LOROS Hospice and other local charities.”
