Southend AC track
We are optimistic there will be a Centurion-qualifier in 2021 and have made provisional arrangements for a track race at Southend for 7th – 8th August.
It is difficult to predict what the Government guidelines will be at the time but we can be sure that adhering to national and local guidelines current at the time will be a mandatory requirement for everybody attending – walkers, supporters, organisers, officials and spectators – so the event may be slightly different to those held previously. Nonetheless we are committed to providing everybody the opportunity to take part in this unique race whether walking, supporting or officiating.
The situation is changeable so please continue to watch this space for updates. We hope to make a decision in Spring 2021.
