The event, set to be the largest yet with around 500 runners expected to take their marks for the starting gun at 10am in the high street.

Organisers have said a number of roads will be closed for traffic, but only for short periods as the runners make their way around the course.

A spokesperson said: “We ask that motorists be patient and exercise caution while runners cross roads. If you are inconvenienced by a delay, it will only be for a few minutes.

“Thank you for your patience and please give runners your support! This is a great event for our beautiful town and we want to showcase it!”

While the High Street will be closed from 6am-2pm on Sunday, other roads will have some temporary closures as the runners pass by.

Here are some of the closures to look out for:

  • New Road, Postern Gate, the town centre end of Listley Street and Northgate will be closed from approx 10.30am to 12.30pm

  • Traffic will be stopped to allow runners past at the junction of Hollybush Road and Cleobury Road

  • Expect delays from Broseley Road approaching town

  • Please respect pedestrian crossings as runners will be funnelled across these at the top of Wenlock Road/Portman's Way and by The George on Hollybush Road
