Manchester marathon update – by Mark Riches

As you may be aware, the government is opening sports facilities and allowing outdoor events to take place shortly. However, despite this glimmer of positivity, after careful consideration the organisers have taken the decision to cancel the Manchester Marathon & Half Marathon on 11th October 2020. They feel that despite this positive step towards mass events returning, the event wouldn’t be the event that we all know and love

For information, they are planning for the Manchester Marathon to take place on 11th April 2021, and the Manchester Half Marathon to take place on 10th October 2021

 I will provide more information nearer the time

This is a lot of fun and the Club gets a donation based on the number of volunteers (£400+ last year) 

If you are available on the day & would like to help (you can do anything from a couple of hours to the whole day) please complete the online registration below. Really sorry, but you need to do this gain even if you registered for the postponed event!

PS I know it’s spelt incorrectly!

Could all A&T members please make sure they adhere to government guidelines regarding daily exercise :
To take exercise once a day – but alone or with those you live with, no gatherings of more than two people
Reports locally of groups running together, lets make sure this isn’t anything to do with A&T and make sure we all stay safe.
If everyone sticks to the rules the sooner things will be back to normal for us all.
