The event, which has more than 400 extra runners signed up this year, is again following the town centre route that made its debut last year.
Race organiser Joe Williams explained that the route, which takes in some of Shrewsbury's most picturesque and well-known streets and locations, gives families, friends, and loved ones more of a chance to cheer the runners on.
A number of town centre roads will be closed for the race – from 7am to midday.
Mr Williams said they were thrilled at the number of entries for this year's race, which provides both spectacular scenery and a challenge.
