Weymouth and Portland Borough Council Head of Tourism and Events, Matt Ryan said: "Sports participation events are a vibrant part of the borough's annual events programme promoting good health, camaraderie and an inspiration to all.

"This is certainly one of Weymouth's most established annual sporting events and is a great opportunity for local people of all ages and abilities to participate and support.

"With plenty of support, live commentary and a stunning venue the event is always a great spectacle for all to enjoy."

A host of local running clubs will be represented, with a full range of age and ability categories.
