In light of the current Coronavirus pandemic, the Fell Runners Association (FRA) have advised that all FRA race organisers are to cancel or postpone their races for the foreseeable future. The full statement is available via the link below:
Therefore, Charmouth Primary school PTA, the organisers of this fund-raising event, have made the difficult decision to cancel the Charmouth Challenge 2020, this includes the Fun Run and the Summer Fair.
For those who already have a confirmed place for 2020, the organisers are offering the opportunity to defer to next year’s event, which will be taking place on 3rd July 2021.
For those runners who prefer to be refunded for their 2020 registration, they can email organiser@charmouthchallenge.co.uk by 2nd April so this can be organised. A message has also been sent to every registration already received to communicate this.
“The Charmouth Challenge has been organised every year since 1983 and is the main fund-raiser for our village Primary school. The event enjoys the valued support of the whole village and runners come from far and wide to participate. These are unprecedented times of uncertainty and we wish all of our supporters the very best at this time. We thank all those who have already supported the Challenge 2020 and hope to welcome them back for the 2021 Challenge.” Mrs Cornish, head teacher said.
Thank you for your continued support.
CUP-FREE 2020
Charmouth Challenge 2020 will be a CUP-FREE / CUPLESS race. What does this mean? It means that we will NOT be providing disposable cups at the water stations, although volunteers will be happy to fill your water bladders/bottles/collapsible cups.
In our quest to become plastic free this year we ask that you run with your own re-usable cup or bottle.
Collapsible cups are available to purchase when you register online and on race day at Charmouth Primary School.
