Great Winter Run Goes Ahead
6 JAN2010
The Bupa Great Run race organisers have confirmed to www.northernrunningguide.com that the Bupa Great Winter Run will go ahead on SaturdayJanuary 9, and if at all possible, will be using the planned 5km route.
The race organisers state that 'Whilst anyone who has been into Holyrood Park will be aware, the top road is still closed off due to snow, we intend to bring in a snow plough and gritter before the race to clear this route'.
The also stress that this 'will not take away vital Council resources away from other local tasks as Nova International are making private arrangements as we appreciate just how busy all local authorities are at the moment. If after this we still have concerns over the running conditions then we do have a contingency route, details of which will be published on the Great Run website very soon'.
The organisers do have an alternative route which is very much the back up plan. Their number one priority is to provide a good, safe running experience.
The Bupa Junior Great Winter Run and the Bupa Great Edinburgh International Cross Country will also go ahead as planned.
