You will be running through the city centre and residential roads and footpaths. Beware of traffic (motor and cycle). Major roads (especially the dual-carriageway ring road) can mostly be crossed using underpasses which are marked on the map. Use these wherever possible.
Be aware of, and considerate to, other pedestrians. Give them lots of space for safety and Covid-19 security.
Take care where you run alongside the river as the path can be narrow and extra care crossing bridges.
