Due to the situation regarding COVID19/Coronavirus, I received today an email from Dereham Neatherd High School advising that all lettings/bookings of the school are cancelled until further notice.

Obviously the event relies heavily on the school as the race HQ, (that coupled with guidance from England Athletics earlier today) I/we feel that the only decision that can be made is to postpone the event for this date.

I/we will be looking into an alternative date later on in the year, but with races being re-scheduled, this may prove problematic and we may even need to consider the possibility of cancelling this year's run.

I/we are at this stage talking to the Norfolk Road Running Committee, Jon Beverly (Total Race Timing) and also Neil Featherby (Sportlink) to see what direction we can take in respect of re-scheduling the event and as soon as I/we have further information I/we will let you know.
