Nelly Mar 2020 6:05pm, 13 Mar 2020 3,968 posts	0 Nelly I’ve just received an email confirming it... Blah blah blah... At this stage our contingency plans are kicking in, and we will issue a further update regarding next steps by Wednesday 18th March at 6pm... We are working to firm up the date for the postponed 2020 Manchester Marathon, likely to be the autumn.
