The Great North Run

[Bamber]

Well 21st June all restrictions end and the run is in September so all should be good.

Organisers just confirmed it’s on. Big change of mind that considering last week insiders knew it was off but it wasn’t announced. Great news.

 

[HABA87]

I'd be shocked if it actually goes ahead this year.

 

[Frijj]

I've heard they are replacing it with a backpedalling cycle race for 2022. You should enter, you've excelled at it on this thread.

“Races like this are finished”

“Obviously I meant finished for this year”

I await Olympic standard back peddling from @OOOSH YEAH

Bizarre comment with no basis in fact, designed just to worry people who enjoy this sort of thing. Stop talking nonsense.

Great North Run organisers could 'struggle' to put on this year's event

Sir Brendan Foster says mass events like the Run cannot get insurance and need the Government to help with an indemnity scheme

Not long now till they’ve blamed someone enough to be able to cancel it.

It'll be reet man. Don't worry about it. I'm thinking about signing up.
You can give me a high 5 at the finish line

No thanks

It doesnt make any sense to even consider have it going ahead. Just going back to hugging relatives for the 1st time in 15 months in June "if" restrictions lifted then not long after heavy breathing with 50,000 others....

At least Nova will have everyones money for another year or at the very least £5 admin fee each for refunding people....

 

[CissesUnderpants9]

Hopefully cancellation for another year, it's got mass spreading all ower it, no Glastonbury ,no air show no run simples

It hasn't been nova for a while. It's The Great Run Company these days

 

[Frijj]

Even if it gets cancelled this year it isn’t “finished” like some of our attention seeking posters claim...

 

[oROSSo]

Absolutely no chance of it going ahead this year imo, PR disaster.

Brendan Forster by a different name(s). Bastard will still get my money one way or another

Id be shocked if the restrictions aren’t gone in June mind. Not only will the Tories implode if they remain but I’m not sure if people would accept it.

I will be surprised too simply due to the pressure to do so. But going from 100-0 in terms of restrictions for GNR is bonkers. They could spread everyone out 2m apart at the start
