With just a day to go until the starting horn sounds at Sunday's Run Norwich, the nerves are starting to build among the 6,000 runners who are asking what is in store.

What will be the toughest part of the race? Can I dress up as Batman? And will I really get a free beer once I cross the finish line?

The answers are at hand - probably the Rose Lane hill at the 5km mark, you can dress up as anything you like as long as it is not offensive, and yes - Adnams is handing everyone a post-race drink.

All signs point to a brilliant day. The weather should be mostly sunny, with temperatures of about 17C, while thousands of runners' friends and family members will line the route to cheer and Norwich City club legend Grant Holt will be there to start the race at 9.30am.

Among them was 21-year-old Kate Hardy, from Ashby St Mary, who is also fundraising for the mental health charity Mind.

She said: 'I'm pretty nervous - this is my first race so I'm not sure how I'll do. I signed up for the charity mainly because not many people run for mental health charities. There will be a lot of people there - it will be a good first-time experience.'

Daryl Green, 29, from Norwich, is taking part for the third year in a row. He said: 'I'll try to beat my time from the previous years. The city's really nice, it's a good route, and there's a 'homely' type of feeling. I have a lot of friends who will be cheering me on.'
