Mersey Tunnel 10k Returns, Roads Closed for Several Hours

Over 2,000 runners are set to pace through the Wallasey Tunnel, on Sunday, April 14, in the 18th staging of the Born To Run point-to-point race. It is the only time throughout the year when people can make their way through the ‘new tunnel’ on foot, with many runners using it as an opportunity to gear up for the London Marathon the following weekend.

The group began in 2019 as a small veteran community service aimed at helping local ex-forces in times of crisis. Former Paratrooper Colin Eastaway from Liverpool is one of the charity’s founders, having served with the Special Forces Support Group, and did multiple tours of Iraq and Afghanistan. “We are self-funded so every penny really will make a difference to the lives of people we support. By providing emergency accommodation along with inclusion and a safe like-minded space, The Block provides the tools our veterans need to tackle these difficult periods of their lives. Please support us along the way on the day, or by making a donation for veterans who really do need that helping hand.

The car park opposite the Floral Pavilion remains in operation for the duration of the event. When the last runner exits Birkenhead Road onto the promenade the traffic management will be removed by the traffic management company. This will be removed in three sections Oakdale Road to the junction with Dock Road, followed by Dock Road from Roundabout to Gorsey Lane and finally Birkenhead Road from Roundabout to Victoria Place.
