Ratoath AC Half Marathon 2020 Cancelled

 

RATOATH AC HALF MARATHON 


2020  Cancelled


We regret to inform you that following increased and overwhelming concerns about the COVID-19 virus we have decided to cancel Ratoath AC Half Marathon 2020.

 

We feel this is the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation. We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold our 2020 half marathon event as we know many were hopeful and had been looking forward to this event, but we know it’s the right decision for the health and safety of our participants, volunteer and community.

 

The good news is: we're now planning our 2021 event which will take place on Saturday the 11th of September 2021 we will be releasing more information on this over the next few weeks.

 

My run results will email all those registered over the next few days with the refund link. If you have not received this in a few days please check your spam folder
