The run takes place this Sunday and takes in the city's landmarks including the Cathedral and Castle.

If you're looking to beat last year's runners, you'll have to finish it in under 30 minutes and 28 seconds.

Or alternatively, have an ice cream in the historic Bailgate in the city... it's your choice.

Experts say they've found artefacts from almost every historical era while digging under the site of Lincoln's new bypass.   

Among the finds are up to 300 skeletons in what's described as an Anglo Saxon burial ground, 20,000 flints and tools dating from 10,000 years ago, a Roman Villa and a rare Bronze Age cremation vessel.

The seven-acre site between Washingborough Road and the River Witham is being scoured ahead of the construction of a new railway bridge.

Archaeologists say the scale of the discoveries they've made is far beyond what they'd predicted.
