Run City Liverpool

The 22nd staging of this very popular event will be on Sunday, 11th May 2008. With the new 5K run getting off to a great start it will complement the Bully Busters 1 mile Fun Run creating a truly family day out.

The course worked well last year and with the start and finish on the Review Field, the spectator levels were up, adding to a fantastic atmosphere.

A great event for experienced runners and novices alike.

Following the recent article on the increasing cost of event delivery it is now very likely that the 2009 Liverpool Half Marathon will not be staged.

Following a reduction of some 800 or so entries in 2008 (equating to around £13,600 in lost revenue) the event has again lost money on the back of being dropped by London Marathon Company in 2006. Clearly if the event cannot at least break even then it becomes unsustainable.

Although the remaining six events in the 2008 ‘runliverpool’ programme are guaranteed and will go ahead as sheduled this year, it is possible that the initiative will cease in 2009.

The result will mean there will be no major races in the city other than those organised by local running clubs and other groups. The events affected would be the Half Marathon, Women’s 10K, Tunnel 10K, Big Heart 5K, 5K Team Challenge (Corporate Cup), Liverpool 10K and Santa Dash.

A worrying time for Alan at the Run Liverpool Headquarters!
