Race off due to 鈥榣ack of water鈥
Print Edition
A HALF-MARATHON in Sheffield was cancelled at the last second yesterday because of a lack of bottled water.
It was chaos after the announcement as many of the 6,000 participants set off anyway and police tried to block them from running. “It is with huge disappointment and regret that we have been forced to cancel this year’s race due to a problem with the delivery of water,” the organizers said.
“We would like to express our sincerest apologies to everyone involved in the race who will be affected.”
“We attempted to convince runners not to carry on, but decided it was a lesser risk to let them run the race,” Neil Mutch of South Yorkshire Police told the BBC. Local daily the Sheffield Star said runners were kept waiting in the cold for an hour before organizers finally said the race was cancelled. Many spectators handed the competitors their own bottles of water.
