Waterside half marathon: Record number of runners for Derry race

Sunday’s route will take runners from Ebrington to King Street, Duke Street and across the lower deck of the Craigavon Bridge.

It then goes along Foyle Road and the Foyle Embankment before crossing the Peace Bridge and onto the Waterside greenway and onto Strathfoyle.

The course then brings runners back toward the Foyle Bridge, the Culmore Road, Bay Road and along the greenway to the Peace Bridge and onto Ebrington.

The council said a number of traffic restrictions and temporary speed limits would be in place and the Peace Bridge will close to pedestrians until 13:00.

A minute’s applause is to be held before the race to remember Charlie Large who died earlier this month.

Mr Large was a founding member of the first half marathon in the city in 1981 and a long-time race official.
