After much careful consideration it is with reluctance that we must cancel this years Run Livingston event.
We have thought long and hard about it and feel the reasons for not having it outweigh the reasons to go ahead.
All races require medic cover of some sort. This is usually provided by volunteers and/or medical professionals working for a private company to top up income.
It would be very irresponsible of us to pull vital resources away from a stretched NHS at a critical time.
Although our entries are below 500 when we combine our entries plus staff plus volunteers plus any supporters that runners bring along, we are well above the 500 people.
On a personal note I would hate to be responsible (even indirectly) for a death because of something at our race.
I would rather every one of our runners and their families remain fit and healthy to run in 2021 and beyond.
Making this decision now enables us to give you 2 options.
1. Transfer your entry to 2021**
2. Give you as close to a full refund as we can manage*
No one in Wee Run Events will take any payment/salary for time spent preparing for the race.
We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. But, we are hoping that by cancelling it with a month to go it will minimise disruption caused to you, our runners.
We have automatically transferred you to the 2021, but completely understand if you want to be refunded. And all being well we will still be here going strong - as we hope you will be - once the virus has been contained.
If you wish to be refunded please email ben@weerunevents.co.uk stating you'd like a refund; however please be patient as it may not be instant.
Ben & Nic
*We anticipate we'll be able to give you 100% of the race fee back minus admin fees
**Transferring is completely FREE!
