There will be a Japanese flavour and this year's sporting activities will be based around Olympic and Paralympic events.

Activities on the day include inflatables, face painting, live entertainment and a fireworks finale.

A one–mile competitive adult race will also be on offer for sub–seven minute male athletes and for sub–nine minute female athletes.
