This year's race will not be running past St John's due to the work on Elgin Street, so unfortunately there will be no bell ringing. However, please be aware that there will be limited access for driving and parking so please plan your route to church in advance.
See this Sunday as an opportunity to be more carbon-neutral - bike, walk or take the bus!
