Ben Jeffries, event organiser from Torfaen Council, said:“We’d like to thank the public for their patience with the temporary road closures. As in previous years, closures will be staggered to help minimise disruption, and roads will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so. Residents on affected roads will have received advance information to help them plan.”
All proceeds from the race will go to the Mic Morris Memorial Sporting Trust Fund.
