The Asda Foundation City of Lincoln 10K is preparing for its 22nd year after is was originally called off due to snow.
The charity road race takes place this Sunday.
As previously reported, organisers Run For All were forced to postpone the original race on Saturday, March 17 due to the Beast from the East causing heavy overnight snowfall.
Junior and mini races still went ahead, but the conditions worsened and it was deemed too unsafe to hold the main event.
The re-arranged 2018 race will start at 9.30am on Sunday, July 1 with the mass warm up approximately 20 minutes before.
The first finisher is expected to cross the line at 10am.
The race is one of the UK’s oldest running events and attracts people from across the UK and abroad, with a route taking in some of Lincoln’s historic landmarks, including the cathedral and the city’s Roman Walls.
