As around 6,000 runners make their way onto the streets for the Liverpool Half Marathon 2023, they will be hoping they will need sunglasses rather than a raincoat for when they pass major landmarks like Sefton Park. But will the weather be kind to them?
The event is scheduled to take place on Sunday (March 26) across a 13.1 mile route. The race will start at 9pm and can end at any time, though on average the last runner passes the finish line at around 12pm.
