Glastonbury Road Run is taking place tomorrow (Sunday 30th April 2023) and promises to be bigger and better than ever before.

Mendip AC will organise the race which will start at 11:20 am. The Glastonbury Town Hall on Magdalene Street is the HQ where you can register before the race. Tickets are available on the RunBritain website, so sign up now and get ready to hit the road!

It's important to remember that road closures will be in place on Saturday to prepare for the race. To avoid any inconvenience, please avoid parking on High Street, Magdalene Street and Street Road, which will all be used for the start and finish areas. The Abbey Car Park will also be inaccessible during the event from 9:00 am till shortly after 2:00 pm.

Road closures will begin at 9:00 am for High Street and Magdalene Street, while Fisher's Hill and Street Road will be shut off at 9:30 am. Local diversions towards Street are available through the relief road or via a signposted route across the levels from the top of Fishers Hill via Butleigh Road. At around 10:00 am, the A361 at Edgarley, Chilkwell Street, Bere Lane and Cinnamon Lane will close in preparation for the races.

Wells Road and Wick Lane from Tin Bridge will be closed to traffic from 11:00 am in preparation for the main 10K event. Wells Road, (as far as the High Street) will be re-opened shortly after the 10K has cleared around 11:45 am, while the hospital will remain accessible from Tin Bridge and Wick Lane will reopen once the runners have reached Edgarley, probably around noon.

Finally, Fisher's Hill, and Street Road will re-open once the final runner has reached the town centre, expected shortly around 1:00 pm.
