Roads across Kenilworth will be closed this Sunday (September 6) as the Kenilworth Half Marathon returns for its 26th instalment.

Kenilworth Runners' annual event will see hundreds of runners take to the local streets, with locals expected to line the route to cheer on the competitors.

The race will start at 9am on Warwick Road opposite HSBC, with the runners heading along Borrowell Lane, then Castle Road before completing a loop of the castle.

They will head back down Brookside Avenue, Fishponds Road, John O'Gaunt and Rounds Hill.

The race will then head out along Rouncil Lane to Beausale returning via Rouncil Lane, Rounds Hill, Oaks Road, St Nicholas Avenue and Randall Road to Warwick Road.

The finish is at the Clock Tower as in previous years.
