Dear Runner,

Market Drayton 10K 2021 race further update

As you are aware, Due to COVID19, the 2020 race was postponed and it was hoped that the race would be able to take place on 9th May 2021. In light of the recent government announcements, we have decided to again postpone the race which will now take place on 3rd October 2021.

I know this date isn’t ideal for some as it’s the same day as the London Marathon and Chester Half marathon to name a few but every weekend through September and October have at least 2 major races taking place but the options below will mean you won’t miss out and you won’t lose your money.

Your options are as follows’

• Your entry has automatically carried forwards to the new race date (3rd October 2021). You do not need to take any action.
• We accept that the new date isn’t going to suit everyone (as many races have been rescheduled for the same date), therefore if anyone can’t take part in the October 2021 race we will happily defer free of charge to the 2022 race which is to be held on Sunday the 8th May 2022.

IF YOU WISH TO DEFER TO 2022, PLEASE EMAIL INFO@BOOKITZONE.COM WITH THE FOLLOWING: NAME OR NAMES OF THOSE WISHING TO DEFER, AN ORDER OR BOOKING NUMBER, AND A CONTACT NUMBER BEFORE 31ST MARCH 2021.

Note: If you didn’t book via BOOKITZONE e.g. prize winner entry, local entry etc. then e-mail marketdrayton10k@gmail.com

• If anyone can’t take part on either of those dates we do allow a free transfer of your place to another runner. Full details of how to request such a transfer are available on the FAQ page here. (https://bookitzone.com/tim_beckett/WfjFFX/faq)
• We are sorry but due to commitments already made we can’t offer refunds. ONLY if you consider yourself to have exceptional circumstances should you email marketdrayton10k@gmail.com BEFORE THE 31st MARCH 2021.
• Whilst many have asked why we don’t just postpone the race to 2022, there are indeed many more that have requested that the race does take place in 2021 – and this is why we are being flexible and offering both choices (unlike some races who aren’t offering deferrals, and some that have just cancelled the race with no refunds or deferral options)!

Please note that places for the 2022 race will not go on sale until sometime AFTER the 2021 race has taken place.Any spares spaces that come available from the deferrals will go back on sale, first to the waiting list and then general sale.

We would like to thank you for your understanding in these extreme circumstances.We hope that you are very much looking forward to joining us for the Market Drayton 10k after what has been a long absence for mass participation events.
