half marathon update
Inverness Half Marathon News . . This site was last updated: March 10, 2006 21:16 Severe Weather Update:Half Marathon Status: (Still scheduled as planned)The Weather forecast for Sunday in the Inverness area is for strong winds, max temp of 5 degrees and snow flurries.
Often Inverness , due to its geography, is missed while blizzards rage around us. We are still optimistic the race will go ahead. What we can say is that it will be cancelled only as a last resort and on the advice of the Police (if we ignore their advice we are in effect uninsured). That decision will be taken as late as possible – probably early Sunday morning. Whether it will be postponed to a later date or cancelled completely will also be decided at the same time. If the event is postponed/cancelled we will update the website immediately and ask Radio Scotland , Moray Firth Radio, and Radio Tay to help us publicise this.
Please note that whatever the outcome on Sunday it is going to be very cold with a high wind-chill factor so come prepared for it and allow more time to get here.

Good luck tomorrow for you as well. You only get one "first" half-marathon. Try to enjoy it regardless of the weather, it should be a good story! Thanks as always for the kind comments on my blog as well.
