Registrations for the 16th annual Solas Run and Walk for Life are currently sitting at 3,400 participants.
With registrations still open ahead of this weekend's event in Dungarvan and Waterford City, this year's figures look set to break all previous records.
On Saturday October 12th in Dungarvan, the 10km Run and Walk begins at 10am in Walton Park at the entrance to the Greenway.
The following day, Sunday October 13th, the 10km and the 4km route both begin from George's Street in Waterford City.
No road closures are in place, however some delays to road users are to be expected, with traffic down to one lane in places for the duration of the run in the city.
