Due to police incident. Hope this isn't 'fake' news.

Looks genuine - seems to be on Twitter. Not sure whether the race had actually started when they took the decision to cancel.

RACE CANCELLATION UPDATE: In the interest of safety for our participants we took the decision to cancel the half marathon half an hour after its original start time because of Police information that a man was acting suspiciously close to the route. - well that's sort of better than some of the rumours that were circulating. At least no one was hurt |

What a shame for the runners and a nightmare for the organisers.

"Everyone went straight to the baggage reclaim tent, and it was while queueing there that a race official came around and said that there had been a 'bomb threat at mile 11'.
