Around 400 competitors expected to take part this year
Around 400 people are expected to take part in this weekend's Syd Quirk Half Marathon.
Competitors will take part in the half-marathon's run and walk events which get underway from 8am on Sunday.
In recent years organisers have had to set limits on entries due to demand - entries are full again for 2022.
