BTR Liverpool has confirmed the Mersey Tunnel 10K will go ahead tomorrow. Here's everything you need to know 👇
Thousands of people will be donning their running shoes this weekend as the event makes its return. Many events have been cancelled or rescheduled in the wake of the Queen's death, but organisers have confirmed the race will go on as planned.
The event, which has been a staple fixture in Merseyside's sporting calendar since 2006, will take place tomorrow, Sunday, September 11 - with the race starting at 9.30am. Despite traditionally taking place in April, the race is being held in September this year. Runners will leave the Kingsway Tunnel at Oakdale Avenue shortly after 9.45am, moving towards Dock Road where they will turn left towards Birkenhead Road. The race will then pass through Victoria Place onto the promenade. Runners will use the Perch Rock access road to run across the Marine Lake to get to the finish line on Ian Fraser Walk.
The tunnel takes runners on a journey of just over 3km, before exiting on the Wirral side of the river before the course makes its way along the Dock Road and the Seacombe Ferry Terminal at the halfway point. The 5km point and water station is at the car park just behind the Mersey Ferry terminal on Birkenhead Road.
