Several roads and junctions in the Loughborough area will be temporarily closed on Sunday, February 23, to accommodate the Leicestershire Half Marathon. The event, which follows a designated route through key roads such as the A6 and Loughborough Road in Shepshed, is expected to draw a large number of participants.
Leicestershire County Council has approved all necessary road restrictions to ensure the safety of runners and spectators. The marathon will begin and end at Charnwood College in Loughborough, with the race scheduled to take place between 9:00 AM and 12:30 PM. However, road closures may extend beyond this timeframe as organizers manage the flow of participants and ensure a smooth event.
The marathon is being held to raise vital funds for the Rainbows Hospice in Loughborough, supporting children and young people with life-limiting conditions. Residents and commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly and seek alternative routes where possible to avoid disruptions.
