Rotherham 10K, Sunday 15th May 2022

Information for Residents & Road users

Runners will be on the route from 10:00 – 11:35, and the road closures will be installed prior to the race start time.

This will be the 3rd running of this event, (the last one being in 2019), and we have brought the start time forward to 10am, in the hope that this creates less disruption for residents and road users.

We are aware that the event will cause some disruption, due to the various road closures that have been agreed and put in place by the Rotherham MBC Highways authority Traffic Order, to keep the runners safe. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and would like to thank you for your patience and support for the event.

Please support the runners around the route.

We have maintained as much access / egress as is possible, and will aim to open sections of the road as soon as the runners have cleared that section, and the road can be safely opened and used.

We hope that with some prior knowledge of the closures that residents can make arrangements to work around any closures during the race ie between 10 and 11:35.
