Ealing is preparing for the return of the Ealing Half Marathon for the fourth consecutive year on September 27.
The marathon is set to attract 7,000 runners with thousands of spectators and hundreds of volunteers.
All the roads that the event passes through will be closed to traffic at some stage during the event.
As part of the preparations, the council is writing to residents who will be affected by road closures and road signs will be on display.
“The Ealing Half Marathon is a great community event for the borough,” said Cllr Julian Bell, leader of Ealing Council.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for residents to be active in their local area while raising money and awareness for chosen charities. If you’re not one of the thousands taking part, I encourage you to come forward and take up opportunities to help out on race day.”
The race begins in Lammas Park at 9am with the rest of the 13.1 mile course covering parts of Montpelier, Pitshanger, Central Ealing and Hanwell before returning to Lammas Park.
There will be a rolling road closure in operation and where possible the road will be re-opened 30 minutes after the last runner has passed by.
The first roads will close from 8am on the day of the event and it is expected that all roads will re-open by 1pm.
Buses that operate in the area will be on diversion from 7.30am until 1pm on the day of the event.
