Huddersfield Marathon & Half Marathon
Huddersfield, West Yorkshire
YMCA, Laund Hill, New Hey Road, Salendine Nook, Huddersfield HD3 3XSSun 7th June 2020
Starting at 11:00
Organiser's Description
We are very sad to announce today that:
The 2020 Huddersfield Marathon and half marathon is to be postponed, at present we can not offer a new date as this event is run from an education establishment they too could not give us an idea just yet.
Any entries will be carried forward to the new dates as soon as we have them for 2020, if you have already entered you don’t need to do anything further. If when we announce the new date you cannot make it, or would prefer not to run the event on the new date, you are able to cancel your entry then for a 60% refund.
Like many other race organisations, we have tried to wait as long as possible in the hope that the situation would not develop as far as it has. At this present time yours and our safety during the above events is paramount, from a staffing, volunteer, medical team or runner perspective.
- [ ] We require a minimum number volunteers at each event, we can not guarantee this.
- [ ] We face the possibility of staff shortages due to infection and or self isolation, we are aware that many would have to drop in the last hours.
- [ ] Whilst the government has not stated that we have to postpone, for your and our safety this is the best option
- [ ] At this moment technically we could put on some of these events, but we can not guarantee that we will be able to at the time
- [ ] We are able to at this moment to source medical support for the events but again as these provisions become more strained, our events become a low priority and potentially they will be able to provide zero medical cover.
- [ ] We want to provide all our participants the best financial outcome we can, whilst still having the ability to continue events in the future.
Like other events organisers we are feeling quite frankly devastated at this moment in time, and have not taken any of these decisions lightly, we are more than aware of the potential issues and damage that this may cause for us and our events but we hope that you will rally around and support, not just us but all other events out there.
We would like to treat everyone the same way, we hopefully have a clear policy in place now that we can all work with.
If you have any questions please contact us via either message here or email to [email protected] the email etc is rather busy at the moment but we will get back to each and every email we receive, just give us time!
Taking place again in 2020, the Huddersfield Marathon is no ordinary marathon, and is already on many "to-do" lists for the year! It is unique, bespoke, with the option of a half marathon - perfect for all runners! It's going to be a great way to get your Summer off to an exciting and fulfilling start. A premiership marathon for a #premiership town.
The route is certainly a bit different. With one lap for the Half Marathon runners and two for the Marathon, it's a hilly opening few miles (one or two big hills!) before a kinder run in to the finish. It's challenging, it's the toughest road marathon in the UK! And on the well marked course, with some fantastic Yorkshire views, you will be supported by a whole host of people, local running groups and charities.
