SEVERN LOOP 5km RACE - 27TH DECEMBER 2012
Unfortunately, a further 24 hours of rain have not only left large parts of the Severn Loop race course under 2ft of water but the registration room at the Boathouse pub is also flooded. With further rain forecast and river levels not set to peak until tomorrow, we have reluctantly taken the decision to postpone the Severn Loop race until a fresh date can be found in February 2013. Thank you very much for your patience and continued support, the new date will be published on this site as soon as possible.(Race Director 24th December 2012)
