Road users are being warned about closures and restrictions in Nottingham city centre before and during a 10k running event.
The event on 9 March will require streets to be closed between 05:00 GMT and 13:00 and a number of parking suspensions from 18:00 on 8 March to 11:00 the next day.
These will include the starting area at the Old Market Square, which will be closed from 05:00 until 11:00, with Lenton Road and Castle Road closed from 06:00 to 13:00 for the finish zone.
Also affected will be Mansfield Road, Forest Road East and the A60 Huntingdon Street.
Run For All
Tristan Batley-Kyle, operations director at event organiser Run For All, said: "We look forward to welcoming participants of all abilities to take on the Nottingham 10K.
"Unfortunately, with an event of this size, a certain amount of disruption is unavoidable, and we would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.
"We will work extremely hard to ensure that the road closures are lifted as soon as possible and thank you for your patience and cooperation."
The event is expected to raise tens of thousands of pounds for a number of charities including Base 51, Framework, the Jane Tomlinson Appeal, Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance, Maggie's Nottingham, Mansfield Cat Rescue, Mind Nottinghamshire, Radford Care Group, Stand Against MND and Trent Bridge Community Trust.
