The annual Round the Vines fun run and walk event fundraiser is scheduled to take place again this year on Saturday 31 October with road closures around the start and finish points at Memorial Square in Martinborough.
The event includes two courses. A 10km course and a 21km course will begin at Martinborough Square and go through vineyards around the village before finishing back at the square. The first run starts at 8.30am and the last one begins at 10.15am. Due to the nature of the event, traffic management with several closure points are required for the safety of the participants and community.
The traffic management plan will be in place for the duration of the event, including road closures around Memorial Square, Oxford Street, Texas Street and Cambridge Road. The map below marks the event route and road closure points.
