2020 Tour des Marches Cancelled

It is with deep regret that we must inform you that The Marches Group has taken the decision to cancel the 2020 Tour des Marches. As you will know we were hopeful that with lockdown restrictions easing we would be able to welcome you to Wistanstow in September. Unfortunately, we have recently seen an upturn in the spread of the virus, with localised outbreaks across the country, including at a site at Craven Arms just a mile from Wistanstow Village. The current situation strongly suggests that restrictions will not be lifted sufficiently enough for us to run the event in five weeks time, and even if they were we feel that the safety of our volunteers and our communities must be our priority. Effectively, the decision has been made for us.

The next Tour des Marches will therefore be held on September 11th 2021.
All entrants will receive an email explaining the options, which are:
  1. 1. Defer to the 2021 event which will be held on September 11th
  2. 2. Receive a refund less the booking fee which is deducted from your entry fee by SiEntries. The booking fee is 5% plus VAT or a minimum of £1.00 plus VAT, so in most cases this will amount to £1.20.
Normally there would also be a fee for making a refund, however, SiEntries has kindly offered to waive their usual refund fee for this event. The Marches Group have also decided that they will not be charging an admin fee.

Details of how to select your option will be contained within the email.
We apologise for the inconvenience our decision causes and we thank everyone for their continued support. Stay Safe, hopefully we will see you in 2021.
