Selby Half Marathon not being run in 2008

With regret we have had to cancel the annual Selby Half Marathon this year. This event has been run for most of the last 20 years, and has attracted runners from all over the North of England, keen to try for a pb on the flat roads around Selby.

There are several reasons for this, but the main ones are the loss of the main sponsor and the cost of road closures due to a change in how sports events are supported on the highway.

However, we are actively working towards a new event for 2009. More details to follow later this year.....
