Welcome to the
Billericay Striders
10k Home Page
The committee of the Billericay Striders 10k had a socially distanced meeting last night with just one item on the agenda, could we reasonably stage the 25th running of the race this November? It was with heavy hearts, we all came to the conclusion, that with the safety of all participants and marshals at the forefront, and the need to maintain a healthy social distance before, during and after the race, this would be impossible with the facilities we have.
As runners of the event in the past, you will know we operate a mass start on the road, which under the new guidance from UK Athletics and Run Britain, would not be allowed. Together with this, we have several pinch points on the course which again would contravene government and UK Athletics guidelines.
Therefore, we have decided to postpone our 25th celebrations until next year, hopefully Sunday 7th November, when we all hope the world will be in a better place. We know you will be as disappointed as we are, and we are sorry there is no way to make this happen safely.
We pride ourselves on putting on a safe and fun event for everyone, and as such we have to say, “See you next year”.
The Committee of the Billericay Striders 10k.
