Thousands of runners and spectators are expected on the streets of North East Lincolnshire as the annual Great Grimsby 10K and Family Fun Run takes place on Sunday.
The event, which is in its 11th year, will start at 09:00 BST and will see participants run from the town hall to the finish in People's Park.
The park will also host a 1k fun run which organisers said is "suitable for all including pushchairs and wheelchairs".
Race director Neil Pattison said the race "brings the community of Great Grimsby together".
"We're supporting loads of local community groups and charities through the race," he said.
"What we absolutely love is the crowds coming out on the roadside to cheer the runners on, to cheer their family and friends and to cheer the people who are visiting Great Grimsby from all over the country."
Pattison said more than 4,000 runners were expected to take part.
The route runs along Scartho Road, Louth Road and Peaks Parkway, before turning onto Welholme Road and finishing in People's Park.
