Moylagh JFK 50 called off

The organisers of the Moylagh JFK 50 Mile Challenge have this evening, Wednesday, announced that the event has been cancelled.

"Due to circumstances beyond our control and following advice from the HSE and An Garda Síochana today (Wednesday August 4th) the Moylagh JFK 50 Mile Challenge regret to inform you that we cannot hold the physical event in Moylagh on Saturday August 7th due to numbers," the crew said this evening.

They are, however, asking all registered participants to take part in the event virtually in their own area.

"We are deeply saddened for this and apologise for any inconvenience caused due to the late notice, however it was out of our control as we were basing the event on earlier HSE guidelines for 500 participants in August and unfortunately this has changed. "
