I guess it’s no big surprise but even UK parkruns are now cancelled.
The cancellation is for March only at present however parkrun notes that the cancellation is likely to extend through April and this would be in line with just about every other recent major sporting announcement on Covid 19.
Even swimming hit the dust late last night, thanks to reader scr888 for the heads up on this.
