RooA Apr 2021 9:36pm, 12 Apr 2021 103 posts	Quote Pin RooA The club local to me certainly seem to have scrapped everything for this year. The only thing I can see going ahead would be the virtual Caithness Half as they did it last year (we accidentally gatecrashed it slightly with a runaway horse but that's a long story). And they have a nifty little trail series that I'd love to do (record and upload your run to ~~strava~~ type deal) but I'll not be fit enough to complete all the courses in time. I don't think there's much point me joining the club this year. They aren't doing training either.

Dvorak Apr 2021 9:42pm, 12 Apr 2021 22,266 posts	Quote Pin Dvorak An optimistic view, Mr Pain Maybe we should have a nice summer then batten down the hatches in Autumn again: only this year do it once cases are 3x, not wait until they are 12x. As for how many constitute a mass gathering - depends. I'd say that 12 000 inside Hampden was one, even if that is quarter capacity. 1000 spread around say The Falkirk Stadium, not really. 400 on a race startline might feel like one: 800 definitely would be. Although whether we should be bothered about any of these circumstances is another question.

I agree Dvorak, getting outdoor events going over the summer and being more careful late in the year seems to be a reasonable combination of the 'normality' we crave with pragmatism.
