Motorists in Hereford are being warned to expected delays this Sunday (14th May), due to a large event taking place in the city.

RUN Hereford hits the road on Sunday 14th May 2023 – and you won’t want to miss it.

From St Michael’s Hospice:

Flourish in the 5K, tackle a 10K or hammer the Half Marathon, and help St Michael’s support families in our community at a time they need it most.

All entrants will receive a running bib together with all the event information you’ll need.

Included in the entry price is road closures, chip-timing, marshalled routes, signage, drinks station, post-run goodies, medal covers and a finishers’ medal. 

To make this day safe and enjoyable for everyone taking part, we have arranged road closures throughout the morning and early afternoon along the following routes:

Stretton Sugwas roundabout (A480 and A4103) to the Roman Road junction with Tillington Road (opposite Ned Potter Ltd) from 9.30am to 2.00pm.

Tillington Road between the Roman Road (A4103) and the crossroads near Burghill Valley Valley Golf Club between 10am and 11am.

Crowmoor Lane (near Burghill Valley Golf Club)  – all directions 10.00am to 2.00pm.

Diversions will be in place, with marshals on hand to answer any queries and allow access to and from homes and businesses when deemed safe to do so. Please be aware that the 5K event, featuring 300 runners of all ages, will take place on the Roman Road between the Stretton Sugwas roundabout and the Tillington turning. This means there will be a strict road closure in place with no access between 10.20am and 11.20am.

Every year, runners tell us how much they appreciate the support from spectators along the route, and we know they would appreciate your backing again this year. 

We are sorry for any inconvenience the road closures may cause, and would like to thank the local community for their support and understanding. 

If you have any queries, please contact Race Director: Matt Ashcroft on 01432 851 000
