A POPULAR running race in Salisbury which was cancelled last year has been reinstated.

Salisbury Half Marathon was postponed last October due to a low number of entries.

Now, organiser Total Buzz Events has installed a new route that they hope will attract a bumper turnout.

The race, set for Sunday, October 9, will start on New Canal and finish in the Cathedral Close.

A spokesman said: "Whether you’re training to become a first time finisher, getting fit or going for a personal best, this flat and fast course will help you reach your goal."
