“Signs will be put up in advance to inform people of the road closures and letters will be sent to residents on Scartho Top and those affected by closures with no alternative route.
“There is non-emergency access to the hospital via Second Avenue. Emergency vehicles will have access to the hospital at all times.
“The road closures have been co-ordinated to support the staggered start times which is key for the COVID-Secure arrangements in place to allow the event to take place safely and securely.
“Race organisers Tape2Tape have put a lot of time and consideration into analysing all aspects of the race to make it as COVID-Safe as possible and have strictly followed the official UK Athletics guidance and advice from North East Lincolnshire Council’s Event Safety Advisory Group and Public Health.”
