Entries have been pouring in for Sunday’s event, with twice as many half marathon runners registered in comparison to last year.
Registration closes at midnight on Thursday and so far more than 1,100 people have entered the half marathon, 800 people have signed up for the 5k and 200 are in the family mile.
