BARNACK FUN RUN - CANCELLATION UPDATE

Dear Runners & Schools,
We were so disappointed that we had to cancel Saturday's event.
Thanks for all the messages showing your understanding and support.

We have seriously considered rescheduling the 2025 event on a new date but it is with regret that it will not be feasible given:

- New/revised road closure application
- Co-ordination of around 50 race-day volunteers
- Current parking provision not available if ground is too wet - with the increased likelihood of adverse weather as we move into winter months it is likely we would need a different parking solution which we do not have

All this sadly means we have taken the decision to cancel the 2025 event.
The option to re-run in the spring also is not feasible since we plan to run the 2026 event as usual on the first Saturday in October.

DONATIONS & REFUNDS
There are numerous costs which have been incurred that will be covered in part by our generous race sponsor Frank Modern.
The BSA provides additional vital resources and experiences for our children here at Barnack Primary School. The Fun Run is one of Barnack's biggest events in our fundraising calendar.
Many runners have already expressed that they would like to donate their entry cost to the BSA. Thank you!
We understand if you are unable to donate and will happily make full refunds.
If you would like a refund, please reply to this email by Thursday 23rd October. All refunds will be processed on Friday 24th October. If no email is received we will accept your entry as a donation to the BSA.

Schools - All school team entries will be refunded in full.

T-SHIRTS
We have 2025 Fun Run T-shirts that we would love for you all to collect! We will be distributing these on Thursday 16th October on the school playground at 3-4pm and at the Millstone pub in Barnack from 6-8pm.

Please come and grab your T-shirt and we'd love to see you wearing them - post your pictures to the Barnack Fun Run page https://www.facebook.com/BarnackFunRun



Many Thanks for your understanding and so many kind words following our decision to cancel the event on Saturday morning.
We will be back next year with Barnack Fun Run 2026 on Saturday 3rd October.

BARNACK FUN RUN - CANCELLED

Dear Runners & Schools,
We are very disappointed to have to cancel today's event.

Apologies we have not been able to give you more notice but we wanted to give the weather forecast every chance to change before making our decision.

There are forecasted wind gusts of 40-50mph between 12 and 4pm when we will have hundreds of people on site and on the course.

This morning the course is littered with debris and a large tree has fallen across our route.

This event is run by a small volunteer team and we have to take this decision in order to comply with safety and insurance considerations.

We would like to thank you for your support - this year we have had unprecedented entries and we were so excited to welcome over 400 runners to Barnack School.

We hope to reschedule the run but it involves road closures, first aid provision and many amazing volunteers, so needs some planning before we can let you know our plans!

We will be in touch shortly with refund / rescheduling arrangements.
Many Thanks for your understanding.
