Race for Life road closures - all the roads that will be blocked off for this weekend's event

People across Glasgow are getting set to put on their running shoes and take part in Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life.

The charity has called on men, women and children to fight back against cancer and part in the 5K and 10K events this Sunday, May 19 at Glasgow Green.

Race For Life begins at 9.30am, with the money raised put towards helping scientists find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease, helping save more lives.

The 5K and 10K events mean a number of roads will be closed - so you may want to plan ahead if you're going to be out and about on Sunday.
