A statement from the organisers said: “A ‘Rolling Road Closure Program’ will be in place on the day with all side roads and junctions on route subject to controlled closures for the obvious Health and Safety reasons.

“We hope to limit the inconvenience but seek everyone’s cooperation and patience, as the safety of the participants has to be our priority.”
