Over 1100 runners and walkers will take to the streets in Greater Moncton on Sunday in the name of Literacy.

Legs for Literacy is one of the largest events held each year in Atlantic Canada.

It attracts running enthusiasts from across the Maritimes who participate in a 5 or 10-kilometre or half marathon event.

Street closures are in effect Sunday morning, in Moncton, Dieppe and in Riverview.
