· Race 1: Devizes Half Marathon = (POSTPONED until 4th October)

· Race 2: Highworth 5 = CANCELLED, no 2020 event

Extra event, as an opportunity to pick up points for each club: Hullavington Marathon relay event (20 September)

As things stand, there are currently 8 races remaining within the 2020 league along with the additional chance to gain points for your club at the Hullavington Marathon relay. With this in mind, the current plan will be to adjust the 2020 rules to allow for an 8 race league with the best 7 races to score. The relay scores will be in addition to this, an extra opportunity for each club to gain points.

Clearly this is an evolving situation and we will endeavour to keep you all updated if anything changes further. Please keep checking Facebook, emails and the websites for the latest advice and event changes.

Stay Safe – follow government advice.
