Festival of Running

Bungay Festival of Running

It is with regret that Bungay Black Dog Running Club (BBDRC) have decided to cancel the 2020 Bungay Festival of Running (formerly The Bungay Marathon and Half Marathon) due to be held on 19 April 2020.

Race director Karen Gedge said that following government COVID-19 guidelines with regard to sporting events and mass gatherings and in consideration of the health and safety of the 1000 runners as well as the many marshals and event staff who would have taken part in the multi-race event, she believed BBDRC had made the right decision.

She went on, “Unfortunately, the autumn 2020 race calendar is rather busy and it has not been possible to find an empty alternative slot to re-schedule this year.
