Road closures due to Hull 10K

Around 3,000 runners will take to the streets in Hull today for the Jane Tomlinson Run For All 10K.

There are a number of road closures and roads with restricted access. Roads have been closed since 4am and will reopen on a rolling timetable as soon as it safe to do so.

City centre roads affected by the closures include: Queens Dock Avenue; Quay Street; Hanover Square; Parliament Street; Wilberforce Drive; Lowgate; Alfred Gelder Street; Manor Street.

We're looking forward to another successful Hull 10K.

We work really hard to minimise any disruption, but with an event on such a large scale, a small amount is inevitable. We'd like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you to everyone for their continued support of this year's Hull 10K.

– Emma Griffiths, Hull 10K

The route goes from Alfred Gelder Street to Citadel Way, along South Bridge Road, towards The Deep, past the Marina and Princes Quay, towards High Street, Whitefriargate, Jameson Street, Jarratt Street, Queens Gardens and back to the Guildhall.

A full list of road closures is available here.
