Road Closures & Travel Disruptions

Every year we work very closely with Nottingham City Council and other agencies to agree a full traffic management system which will be safe for the runners and cause the minimum amount of disruption to residents and other road users. However, there will be times when some roads will be closed to traffic. This is necessary to host such a large road race and we ask for your patience and cooperation during the short time the race will be passing your area.

In addition to official closures, ongoing roadworks and general congestion may affect travel into the city. We strongly recommend planning your journey in advance and allowing extra time.
