CORONAVIRUS – COVID 19 situation
THE LUTON SUMMER ROAD RACE SERIES FOR 2020 HAS BEEN CANCELLED
We regret having to cancel the series but with the 5 mile race being in the prohibited competition period and with no obvious short to mid term return of mass participation events beyond that, and therefore no firm information to base our organisation on, we had no choice but to cancel. We hope to be back in 2021.
Note we will refund entry fees to anybody who has entered.

Refunds
We regret that once applications have been processed we cannot refund fees to runners who do not eventually take part. Like all events entry fees are used to hire the venue equipment etc. Therefore, we not issue any refunds after entry. If you wish to transfer your place to another runner please contact the race secretary at least 7 days before your race.
Ill or injured
If you are ill or injured then you should not run for your own safety. For insurance reasons you cannot give your number to someone else to run in your place.
