Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Really hope this can go on. Just 1000 people on country roads...really can’t be a big risk can it?

It's not just 1000 though, its 2000 as theres the half mara as well.

But they did say in their statement that theres minimal risk once you are out running so would look like they will do everything in their power to keep it on

Maybe a staggered start could help if they think the numbers In a bunch are an issue. And eg not have crowded indoor/sheltered areas (don’t know what if anything they usually have in the way of facilities). I suspect a lot of runners would happily put up with a rather spartan and minimal affair if it meant the difference between running and not.

And not have volunteer children opening water bottles with their sticky fingers and handing them to runners to drink from like at Manchester :-)
