Due to flooding we have had to take the decision to move next Wednesday's Enigma Willen marathon to Furzton lake (both Caldecotte lake & Willen lake are at least a foot & a half deep in places). park run & a 10km weekend event at Willen have already cancelled.
The New Venue will be the same as the recent Winter Enigma - The Furzton lake, Pub, Shirwell Crescent, Furzton, MK4 1GA. (New course is 17 laps of Furzton Lake).
This isn't an ideal situation I know but sure folks will prefer this to the other option of cancelling the event completely.
If I can contact all the competitors (& get confirmation from them) we will start at 10am as advertised, however if not we will start at 10.15.
If those entered could comment or respond/ email / fmail to this post to confirm they are aware I would be very grateful & can then email the remaining runners.
thanks Foxy

I have now had confirmation from all the runners that they are aware of the change of venue for Wednesday & The Buff Furzton Enigma (the artist formerly known as the Buff Willen Enigma  ) will start at the Furzton Lake pub at 10am on Wednesday 15th January 2014.
Address : Shirwell Crescent, Furzton, MK4 1GA.

I'm booked into a hotel to stay this Friday to do the anniversary MK parkrun on Saturday - do you think it is likely that it might still be under water and be postponed? I had planned on then heading over to Furzton after parkrun to check it out and get a few laps in

The weather has improved here but not sure if it will for Willen for the weekend - i will tailor my Thursday training run to take in Willen & let you know the state of play.

The problem is less the weather and more the water levels. Willen has been flooded between the 2 lakes due to the sluice gates having to be opened to release water from the river.

I ran both Caldecotte Way & Willen way today & it's not looking good at either venue.
I wouldn't hold your breath that park run will be on Slick

Though it was encouraging to see this listed on their facebook page (on 11th Jan): "Next Saturday is our fourth anniversary! There will be a run, although it is unlikely to be the usual route,.."

The Christmas route is not good for the usual Saturday turnout but we have a cunning plan for an alternative 5K route.
