Would there be potential for the elite race to go ahead even in the event of the mass participation side being cancelled?

I’ve received an email asking for a predicted finish time. I clicked on the link and couldn’t see where to enter the time, but it looks very much like a wave start.

Thanks, the edit button didn’t appear on my phone. Now found it. All very optimistic that they are taking these steps.

Wave start would be great if people are honest. They should ask for evidence, eg PB at either marathon or half.

Last I saw was they're talking about having start pens of around 250 people, with a separate holding area for the next wave, if that makes sense.

But they'll be sending out detailed info in due course.

Just started looking at hotels to save the drive up in the morning...

Closing date bought forward to 27th August.

Start times published on website and Facebook however your start time will be in the post when all entries are in, along with race number and car park map. A bag drop of sorts is now available.

The organisers have just tweeted that the Boston Safety Advisory Group have withdrawn support for the events.

Not sure what it means, but think it's saying its cancelled and refunds and complimentary t-shirts are being organised in the coming days?
