If anyone has signed up for Marsh Farm 10 Mile this Sunday, please see below.....


 Hello runners,
It is with great regret that we unfortunately have to postpone our race this Sunday in Marsh Farm until later in the year. The Environment Agency have closed off approximately 1.5 miles of our route, and there is no safe alternative diversion that will give us the full ten miles. The local authority at the Farm have requested that we postpone the race until later in the year when the route is fully re-opened.
I apologies that we are informing you of this news with such short notice however it is simply out of our control. I am committed to organising safe and enjoyable races and after listening to the advice from the Environment Agency and the country park manager we have decided that it is best to wait until the original route is reopened. I have arranged a meeting with Country Park Manager and Environment Agency to find a new date for the race and will send you information in due course.
In meantime we would like to offer you either a full refund, transfer entry to any of our other races, or you can await the date of the re arranged event. We are terribly sorry for any inconvenience it may cause and hope that you understand that the situation is out of our control.
Please reply to this email and let us know if you would like a:
Refund
Transfer
Or would like a place in the re arranged event.
If we do not hear from you we will process a full refund.

Best wishes
Craig
The Race Organiser
