Emma-Jayne Memorial Fund Bikeathon 2020 is cancelled
Ruth and Tony Knowles are ‘very sorry’ to confirm that this year’s Emma-Jayne Memorial Fund Bikeathon has been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The annual fundraising event, which has been held in memory of Ruth and Tony's daughter every summer for over twenty years, had been due to take place next month.
Ruth and Tony said they found themselves with "not a lot of options" due to the practicalities involved with social distancing, and the potential uncertainty regarding the re-opening date of the Royal Oak ('The Splash') in Little Cawthorpe where the event starts and finishes, due to current government restrictions on the hospitality sector.
However, next year’s event - featuring the bikeathon, a 10k run and 4.5 mile walk - has already been booked for Sunday July 18, 2021.
