Old Deer Park Cancellation

URGENT NEWS: OLD DEER PARK PARKRUN CANCELLED TOMORROW (12TH MAY)

Really sorry guys, and particularly for the very late notice - Duncan and I truly believed we would be able to run this week, but having reviewed the location of the event, and discussed likely traffic between 9-9.30 with the event organisers, it is clear that it will not be safe to run.

Please help us spread the word if you know of someone who was planning to run tomorrow.
