Posted on March 18, 2018 by Ann

Unfortunately due to heavy snow overnight we have cancelled today’s race.

We have fought hard to keep the race going and thank you to everyone who has supported us but, with more heavy snow now forecast this morning, it just isn’t safe.

We will be in touch with all entrants in the next couple of days; meanwhile, stay warm and stay safe!
