The race gets going at 9am from Marine Parade then heads around the streets of the town, before returning for a seafront finish.

Friends and family are encouraged to come along and support competitors. Race director Richard Xerri said: “Last year the turnout was fantastic. The weather was great and the race brought people out to cheer the runners on, mix with neighbours and listen to the brass band down the seafront.
