What the run is like

The route takes in the historic centre, run either at first light or after dark. It is the same streets both times and it is not the same run: at sunrise the city is quiet and cool, and at night it is lit, busy and warm.

This is the one to book if you have a single free morning and no travel day to spare. You start from the centre, you finish in the centre, and you are back before the day gets hot.
