Several closures are planned for the annual Southampton Marathon, which takes place on Sunday.
The edition of the event will start in Guildhall Square at 09:00 BST.
More than 6,500 runners from 36 other countries will participate in the full marathon, component marathon, 10 km or 5 km distances.
The 42-kilometre race includes two laps around the city and its landmarks, plus the St Mary’s Football Stadium.
Southampton Hospitals Charity is the main charity for the marathon, with 146 runners registered to raise funds this year.
Running back Jake Neale called it his “way of giving back. “
“As a local hospital, I’ve been to University Hospital Southampton a number of times, whether it’s for myself, for my circle of family or for my friends,” he said.
“At some point in their lives, they’ll all have used a hospital, and some of the paintings they do in Southampton are amazing!”
In the city centre, London Road and Brunswick Place will be completely closed from 07:00 BST, Central Bridge and Itchen Bridge from 08:00 and East Park Terrace from 09:30.
West Quay Road, Millbrook Road West and Hill Lane will be accessible.
Details of all planned closures can be found on the event’s road closure map.
Organisers have shown that The Avenue, Thomas Lewis Way, West Quay and The Marlands Shopping Centre will be open and easily accessible, as will the Red Funnel and the waterfronts.
