Although the weather will be overcast throughout the day, it is set to be dry before, during and after the race.

Early morning will be cloud, with the temperature rising to 10C by 9am, just in time for the 10K warm up, which begins at 9.10am.

The race itself will start from Wellington Street at 9.30am, with runners assembling in the start area on the site of the old International Pool.

The weather will still be cloudy with a temperature of 10C by the time the race begins.

At 10.30am the 10k & Tudor Shield awards will be presented in front of the Town Hall, with cloud and a temperature of 10C set to remain.
