Canberra Times Fun Run 2017: How to get there, where to park and more

And, whether you're donning a race bib or cheering someone on from the sidelines, here's everything you need to know this Father's Day:

How to get there

First up, the basics. The 14km and 10km start lines are on Yamba Drive near Launceston Street, while the 5km starts on King George Terrace in front of Old Parliament House. But all events end up at the finish line on Rond Terrace along Lake Burley Griffin.

Those in the 5km event can jump on the shuttle bus from Rond Terraces, Commonwealth Park. If you're sticking it out for the 14km and 10km, head to Parkes Place West in Parkes to catch your bus.

Buses run from 10am until noon. Don't worry - there will also be shuttle buses operating from the finish line to take you back after putting in the hard yards.

Where to drop your gear

If you're in the 5km run, head to gear collection at the event village on Rond Terrace. Just make sure you're back at that line on King George Terrace before your 9:30am start.

Those taking on the 14km or 10km runs can drop their things off between 7:15am and 8:10am at the finish area on Rond Terraces.

It's reccommended runners arrive at the start area at least 30 minutes before the starting gun goes off.

Where to park

For the 5km race, head to the National Library car park, or the Treasure building. There are also open car parks at the John Gordon building and Parkes Place West.

Those heading out for the 14km or 10km should head to the Hellenic Club for spots.

Or, if you're looking to tuck into some food at the event village, try Anzac Park east or at the CIT car park.

What the weather will be doing

After a low of four, Sunday is warming up to a blustery 19 degrees. But, expect a few showers to cap off the day.

There's a 70 per cent chance of a downpour during the evening. Of course, many runners will be safe and warm in the pub by then!

Which roads will be closed

For those driving rather than running, expect a few detours throughout the first half of the day. Areas affected include Parkes, Phillip, Curtin, Yarralumla and Capital Hill.

From 6am until 1 pm, there will be closures on the northbound lanes of Kings Avenue and Wendouree Drive between Constitution Avenue and Kings Avenue.

Road closures for the 2017 Canberra Times Fun Run.

Intersections impacted by these closures include:

Barriers as well as warning and diversion signs will be in place.
