Coventry Half (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter sw88
- Start date
Dissappointimg but probably the right call, besides runners safety you've got set up and staffing, stewards health provision then possibly travelling in to compete.
They're talking of minus 9 with windchill.
My daughter will be peeved like yourself after months of preparation.
It's not easy to just randomly reschedule either is it ?

Definitely cancelled
What do think Pete?
Should they have carried on?
I know there have been examples like this before and some of the runners went ahead anyway.
There's a reasonable chance that Stafford one gets pulled later .
I do believe calling it early carries a risk but the forecast sounds pretty nailed on .
Then it comes down to the chance of Injuries ,exposure etc or should they just let people man up like the old days?

No date yet, which is another frustration! But perhaps I’m just being selfish in wanting all the answers straight away, as well as wanting it to go ahead because it would have suited me

Never bother with a half, always go for the full pint.
From the graphics they're displaying on the BBC tonight it looks valid.
Don't doubt it's cold Windy but see very little snow and think it spreads a message of giving up too easily. Just my 2 cents
It isn't really. I would have understood few weeks back
I'm of a similar mind Macca, but the risk of third party claims for Injuries incurred etc prevail now sadly, compared to our youth .Don't doubt it's cold Windy but see very little snow and think it spreads a message of giving up too easily. Just my 2 cents
Sure as eggs If it was a little worse than they expect from the basis of this forecast they'd get slaughtered in the media.
The responsibility lies with the third party now rather than on the individual .
The call being made early probably relates to the logistics of it more than any other consideration.
You are quite right of course just winds me up

Forecast for tomorrow is now above freezing. Outside it is currently 1°C
This is not untypical for this time of year.
If the organisers want to avoid this sort of problem they need to stage the event in April.

It used to be September time when it first came back to the City. Not sure why they ever changed it

We had snow this morning about 3am as I drove home from work it must have been for about twenty seconds

You’ve seen my reporting skills when stood still. Imagine what they’d be like while running!! Might be a few less shits mind.....

I don’t know...I bet you shit from the start line. Bet you shat through the field. And possibly shit towards the finish.
Of course you meant ‘shot’ rather than a comment on your running ability.
Congrats on your time
