That’s disappointing as your first official 10k but as you say, it is understandable.

There will be many more and better you stay safe.

So sorry about that, you were looking forward to it so much but you understand for health reasons why it was cancelled, not sure if there will be any parkruns anywhere this weekend, looking very doubtful.

I notice that you are at No.9 on the VRWC team list with 77.18Kilometers ran, unless that is incorrect because of double KM's ran, an ongoing problem which has affected a few runners.

Yes AlMorr, it seemed to fix itself then started doubling up again😊

Such a shame but not surprising. Take care and keep running

Just had confirmation that my 7k race in April and a 10k the month after have been postponed. Not surprising at all but still disappointing. Looks like the PM's press conference will mean that Parkrun UK will now have to stop our Saturday Morning fun. I can't see how they can continue now.

Ah well back to the loneliness of the long distance runner, just me and a few dogs and squirrels.

I think it was to be expected that run events were to be postponed.

I always run on my own anyway except for parkrun. Probably safer on our own anyway 😊

Sorry about your two runs being cancelled because of the coronavirus Amblerman, I doubt if any parkruns will be run this weekend or any weekend now for a few months, anyway, if you wish you could just run a 5k on the parkrun course and count that as your? st unofficial parkrun, with your dogs of course.

If as I expect no parkrun this Saturday I will just run a 5K locally and that will add my total to the VRWP kilometres for the HealthUnlocked TeamGB.

Sorry to hear this Buddy34, understandably disappointing.

Hopefully you’ll get the rearranged date in the not too distant future.

Sorry to hear that Buddy. Not an event you would want to replace with a virtual version I think - running in the dark on your own!

No wouldn't run in the dark on my own but you know it's only a run and I think we've got more serious things to worry about 😊😊

That’s a shame as it sounds great, but it is understandable in these scary times. Look forward to all the other lovely runs and events that will be possible in the not too distant future πŸ˜€

Sorry to hear that your race has been cancelled, Buddy34! But it's probably for the best. Doesn't make it feel any better though.

Arrrggghhhh. Time for us all to be very patient. I would suggest a virtual equivalent but I wouldn't want to do a night run on my own! I have a similar issue in that my nightride is likely to be cancelled. I already have sponsors so will set up a virtual ride - but it won't be 100k through the night, not on my own!
