Sadly we will need to postpone today’s race.
Due to the predicted weather conditions provided by the Met Office and our inspection of the course, it is our view that it is likely to be unsafe to race.
We will advise as to the new race date. Please share with other runners, and parents of junior racers.
Thanks.
