The event has been organised by Claire Lomas, who recently walked the London 10,000 in a robotic Re-walk suit, and will set off from Eye Kettleby Lakes at 10.30am.

Around 300 runners have already entered the half-marathon which will follow a challenging, but scenic course, taking in Great Dalby, Little Dalby and skirting Burrough Hill Country Park.
