RUNNERS will pound the city’s streets on Sunday in this year’s eagerly-anticipated Shell Chester Half Marathon.

Organised by Chester and Ellesmere Port-based club West Cheshire AC, the sold-out 13.1-mile race starts at 9.30am below the castle on Castle Drive and finishes on the grass at Chester Racecourse.

A one-mile family fun run, held inside the Roodee, gets under way at 9.45am.

Race marshals and volunteers should report for duty no later than 8.30am at the Racecourse on Sunday. For more information visit www.westcheshireac.co.uk
