Larne Athletic Club will host its annual Half Marathon this Saturday (23 March) at 11am.
Police are asking ALL coastal traffic (regardless of where they’re coming from) to use alternative routes, via Millbrook, Drumahoe Road, Ballymullock Road, Drumnegreagh Road.
From 9am onwards traffic will be restricted around Tower Road, Chaine Memorial Road and Bay Road. Marathon participants are asked to use the event car parks.
Delays are expected from 11am to approximately 11.30pm in the town centre, including the Victoria Road/Glenarm Road junction. With a large number of participants expected, drivers are asked to allow extra time for coastal journeys (residents, Cairndhu Golf Club, Carnfunnock traffic) and exercise extreme caution when travelling on the route.
Ballygally residents will also be affected from around 11.30am to 12.50pm and residents are asked once again to allow extra time for planned journeys within this time.
A large team of volunteer marshals will be positioned on the 13.1 mile course to ensure that any questions from the public are answered, and that consideration is given to the safety of both runners and motorists.
Members of the public are asked to work alongside the marshals and police to ensure a safe event.
