average_runner wrote: » Ah i see it now. "up to 200 for outdoor stadia or other fixed outdoor venues with a minimum accredited capacity of 5,000" But that is ok for the running events. We might get more events later on so. Does the organizers have to turn away people from a county in level 3 or is that responsibility on the individuals. Big ask for organizers

How in God's name the organisers would ever be able to police that, events are enough work as is without trying to go search individuals details etc.

Course was officially measured on Monday with Tommy Hughes in attendance to offer his thoughts on the layout. Its a 5.5k lap, flat as a pancake, smooth tarmac roads, no traffic. There have been no cases linked in any way with any of the running events in NI so I am confident the event will go ahead even if tighter restrictions are imposed on indoor locations and team sports like no spectators. If it is called off you will get a full and immediate refund.https://online.athleticsni.org/ps/event/ChampionChipIrelandRunningSeriesEvent8Lisburn
