LOROS statement on cancellation of Leicester Marathon 2019

Events

3 Oct 2019

We’re devastated to hear that the 2019 Leicester Marathon has been cancelled and our hearts go out to all the runners who have trained so hard for this event.

This is one of our biggest fundraising events and the £30,000 it generates each year will be a huge loss to us.

We would like to thank all those who have already pledged to waive their entry fee refund, and donate it to us.

If you’d like to support us further please do come along to our Big Day Out on Saturday 5th October at the Hospice. Loros.co.uk/bigdayout
