๐ Holcombe 10 Race Update ๐
We are really sorry to share that the Holcombe 10 Race, which was due to take place in May, has unfortunately had to be cancelled.
Please be assured that the team agonised over making this difficult decision, but due to staff changes and capacity, we were unfortunately no longer in a position to safely deliver this event as it was originally advertised and we truly appreciate the understanding and continued support from those who were due to take part.
That said, we didnโt want all the hard work and training to go to waste - and we still want you to have the chance to earn the awesome Holcombe 10 medal ๐
Therefore, instead, weโre excited to invite you to take part in the Holcombe 10 Virtual Challenge, where you can complete the 10K or 10 Mile route in your own time, at your own pace, on a date that suits you.
Youโll still experience the brutal challenge, still earn the medal, and still be part of the Holcombe 10 story - we want to see your photos!
Thank you again for your patience and support.
