Thousands of runners take part in the Lincoln 10k each year

The Lincoln 10k will celebrate the city's history and landmarks when it returns on 12 April.

Tristan Batley-Kyle, of organiser Jane Tomlinson's Run For All, said: "It's a fantastic day that's become a firm favourite in the region's fundraising and sporting calendar."

The run will starts on Riseholme Road at 10:00 BST and pass landmarks including the Museum of Lincolnshire Life, Yarborough Leisure Centre and Ravendale Sports Ground, before finishing at Priory Gate, in the shadow of Lincoln Cathedral.

A number of road closures along the route will be in place until 14:30.

Batley-Kyle added: "We look forward to welcoming participants of all ages and abilities, and encourage anyone not taking part to come along and support what promises to be a brilliant day."

The route

Organisers say the fast and flat 10k route "showcases Lincoln at its best, guiding participants through historic streets and past many of the city's most recognisable landmarks".

From Riseholme Road, runners will head on to Nettleham Road and up Newport, before heading past Yarborough Leisure Centre and along Burton Road.

The route then bends round on to Queen Elizabeth Road and back to the start point, before skirting Ravendale Sports Ground and then running straight run along Nettleham Road to the finish at Priory Gate.

Road closures

Organisers suggest people should park in Sudbrooke Drive car park, at LN2 2EF. It is only accessible for vehicles heading southbound down Riseholme Road from the A46/A15 and is a 15-20 minute walk from the starting point.

For Blue Badge holders, Breedon Drive car park (behind Yarborough Leisure Centre), LN1 3QE, is recommended and is accessible to vehicles heading northbound from Yarborough Road and Burton Road.

Road closures will be in place from 05:00 to 14:30, with parking suspensions starting from 16:00 on Saturday 11 April to 13:30 on Sunday 12 April.

The full list of closures and suspensions can be found at Run For All Lincoln 10k.
