Preparations for the start of the race in Victoria Park, Leicester including the organiser Ian Davidson chatting to BBC Radio Leicester on location. A jazz band (the Fearless Hiss and Boo Band) perform as the runners get ready and the start is signalled by the firing of a cannon (not seen). We see various stages in the race through Leicester city centre including passing the Clock Tower and the runners taking on water. The winner of the race is Tony Kearns. There are vox pops with runners at the start and finish.
