Central Lancashire New Year Half Marathon - POSTPONED

As a result of the continuing freezing conditions and with more freezing forecast tonight, this race is postponed.

I have met with the race organiser this afternoon and in making my decision I have considered the safety of competitors as the priority. There are many parts of the course with large patches of solid ice on them. This poses a danger, not only to runners but also to motorists who may be on the course.

This decision has not been taken lightly and I am disappointed to have to postpone the race. 

I can fully understand the disapointment many of you will feel but hope you will appreciate I have made the call purely on safety grounds.

It is hoped the race can be staged towards the end of January or early February, depending on other fixtures.
