ROADS in Herefordshire will be closed next weekend for a running event.
On Sunday, September 19, St Michael's Hospice will be holding RUN Hereford, an annual event, which includes a half marathon, a 10K and a 5K run.
The RUN Hereford event is one of St Michael's Hospice's biggest fundraisers, with 1,200 runners and their supporters taking part, and raises around £60,000 towards the hospice's care costs.
It starts and finishes at the livestock market in Roman Road, Hereford.
To ensure the safety of those taking part, road closures have been arranged throughout the morning and afternoon.
