THE Brooks Fleet Pre-London Half Marathon, fully booked for its 35th anniversary, takes place this Sunday (March 20).

With roads closed to traffic, this prestigious race is excellent for family viewing. Organisers Fleet & Crookham AC advise spectators to check the website (fleethalfmarathon.com) for the best spots to cheer on relatives and friends.

Over the last three decades, the race has raised tens of thousands of pounds for charity. This year, it will be supporting the local charity ‘Arise All Saints’ as Fleet’s parish church seeks to rebuild following the recent devastating fire.
