It's just a week to go til the annual Ali Brownlee runs in Middlesbrough - and we're being reminded there will be quite a few road closures in place through the town.
Sunday the 1st of June will see hundreds of runners take on the 5k and 2k events through the streets of the Boro.
The runs happen every year in memory of the Middlesbrough commentator, this year the Ali Brownlee 5k returns with an updated route, starting and finishing at Centre Square and taking in the Riverside Stadium along the way.
The 5k will start at 10.15am, followed by the 2k at 11.15am which shares the same start and finish location at Centre Square but features a shorter route.
The event will require the closure of roads and junctions between 9.15am and noon on Sunday, June 1.
Road closures include Albert Road, Bridge Street, Cleveland Street, Commercial Street, Corporation Road, Dock Street, Durham Street, Exchange Place, Lower Feversham Street, Priestman Road, Queen’s Square, Shepherdson Way, The Leeway, The Halyard, Vulcan Street and Windward Way.
The final closure will be re-opened for no with the closures around Shepherdson Way and The Leeway re-opened on a rolling basis when safe to do so.
Run For All Operations Director Tristan Batley-Kyle said: “As with many major running events, some road closures are put in place to ensure the safety of the participants and spectators.
“We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused. All closures will be lifted as soon as possible.
“We are looking forward to returning to Middlesbrough for what promises to be another fantastic event in the town.”
