10k, 5k, Aldridge Mile and Children's Races
Sunday 14th June 2020 - RACE CANCELLED

It is with great sadness that we have made the decision to cancel the 2020 Aldridge running festival and we have now emailed all runners who entered our 10k or 5k to that effect. Existing entries will be transferred to next year's event, which will be held on Sunday 13th June 2021.  We hope that by making this decision early it will be easier for entrants to plan their schedules and also to be free for next year's event.

It has been a really hard decision but we really don't have any choice. The organisation that is required to put on the event means that even if the ban is lifted before June we just won't be able to complete all tasks needed to ensure a safe and successful event . No-one knows how long this will go on for but we must still consider July/August to be holiday season and with so many big ticket events now rescheduled to September/October we could not find a date that would be suitable for competitors and marshals alike.

This decision was not taken lightly but as a committee we have agreed that the best option is to cancel for this year and to have an even bigger/ better event next year.

With grateful thanks to all our 2020 sponsors:​
