TWO major city centre car parks will be closed 'all day' during a Worcester City Run as a reminder is issued ahead of the event which will see thousands of runners arrive. 

Both the Cattlemarket and Croft Road car parks will be closed on Saturday and Sunday, Worcester City Council has confirmed. 

"Apologies for any inconvenience," said a city council spokesperson. 

We have previously reported that there will be 43 road closures in place on Sunday, September 17 to allow for the Worcester 10K and Worcester Half Marathon. 

Thousands of runners will be on the city’s streets for both events, with the Worcester City Runs programme starting on Saturday (September 16) with Paula Radcliffe’s Families on Track event at Worcester Racecourse.
