Unfortunately due to the recent weather (insert stupid amounts of rain and some floods just for fun) the race has been cancelled. As you could imagine the shuttle road and track are not in ideal condition now. Everyone will be receiving their entry back within the next week or so. It's a long process so please wait patiently.
We will try and run the race later in the year. Even after two cancellations we still determined to run this race! Sorry for any inconvenience. |
