The time table announced yesterday by the UK Government is great news as it allows for outdoor organised sports in England to restart from the 29th of March (*1). Big cheer! Unfortunately the date is just 9 days later than we would have all liked. Consequently this event can not take place as originally scheduled on the 20th of March 2021.
We are currently in consultation with key-holders to finalise the new date.
We will be emailing all registered participants by the end of this week with full details of the new date and all available other options. We kindly ask that you do not individually contact us before you have read this email.
(*1) Such activities will have to conform to the prevailing social distancing measures on gatherings of groups (within an event / activity setting).

Re the current national lockdown: We will be waiting until the government's mid February announcement before making a decision on whether this event is postponed or can continue as scheduled. If the event is postponed then the currently favoured contingency date is: [date now removed to avoid future confusion].

Check-in! [New] : We will be asking all registered participants to check in online approximately two weeks from the event. The Check-in process will result in a simpler event experience for you by removing the usual on-the-day administration. Within the Check-in process we will ask you to: 1) Confirm your preferred postal address to enable your participant number and electronic timing tag to be posted out, 2) Watch the mandatory event safety video and 3) Give us an indication of your preferences with regards to a mass start or an individual time-trial start.
With the world famous Seven Sisters, and far reaching views out over the English Channel, these courses are already attracting international recognition. The Sussex 10K, half, marathon and ultra routes shoulder the coastal towns of Eastbourne and Seaford, which lie to the eastern section of the South Downs National Park. Where the land meets the sea, the results have produced one of the most iconic coastal landscapes of Britain - vast cliffs of brilliant white chalk.
Based from one of the few coastal access points on this coast, Birling Gap is perfectly positioned for runners to explore this dramatic cliff ridden coastline. Expect a few ups and downs as you negotiate that beautiful rolling downland!
Virtual : Don't forget to connect with us via the official Facebook Event where you can select "Going" or "Interested". Here you can network with others and join in the conversation by asking questions and advice.
In Person : Unfortunately we are not able to offer a post event gathering or party this year.
Never be locked in
Never be within 2 meters of anyone else
Although there are a raft of other changes we have put in place we hope the examples above clearly demonstrate our priorities to you. All changes will be in place across our portfolio of events for the foreseeable future, most likely until the end of 2021.
We hope that you can now relax and take part with confidence; we are looking forward to delivering your next tough challenge!
With best wishes,
James and the Endurancelife Team.
