Hello
This is the most recent St Neots thread I could find, rather than starting a new one.
I’ve been having a dig trying to find out what’s happening with this race since I’d not heard any whisper of it.
Nicetri took it on from Riverside Runners in, I think, 2017. Nicetri events have been taken over by Active Training World since the last race in 2019. I’ve searched ATW’s event list and whilst I can find St Neots tri series, which was also previously run by Nicetri, I can find no mention of St Neots half.
I’ve dropped them an enquiring email to see if they have any definite plans for it, but think this lovely half is possibly now defunct
:-(

I'd be beyond disappointed by that. My four fastest times are there, and PBd there even more often than that. ☹️

I would've thought that a race which had regularly attracted several thousand runners for many years (and sold out many times) would be commercially worth sticking with, although I suppose getting marshals is more difficult/expensive for a non-charity/school or non running club event.

Bad news. Just received this reply from ATW
“This race is still being organised by Riverside Runners as far as we are aware- it was not included in the acquisition of Nice Tri.”

I’ve replied to tell them that Riverside haven’t been involved since 2018 (ish) which was when Nicetri took it on, but it looks very much like it’s fallen by the wayside

Though ATW have now replied and said

“Thanks for the update. Maybe we'll contact them and see if we can do it.......”

Riverside runners website doesn't look like it's been updated for a while and the links to their races don't work.
I should think if ATW wanted the race and could get it up and running they would be welcome to it

lots of fingers crossed luck :)
