Race got cancelled!
After driving all the way to Philladelphia, the following is the message we got. I'm not saying it wasn't hot because it was over 100 but we could have done it anyway. I ran about 20 miles anyway in protest to show them!
"Runners,
After developing a modified solution with our partners at the City of Philadelphia the afternoon of July 19, we were asked by the City at 5:00 p.m. the same day to completely shut down all races on both Saturday July 20 and Sunday July 21.
No races will take place this weekend due to safety concerns. We appreciate the City of Philadelphia's focus on health and public safety. We recognize and are grateful for your enthusiasm in communications today. However, we ask that you honor the cancellation and not congregate or organize informal runs related to 20in24 this weekend. We are working with the City to hopefully and potentially reschedule the race this year.
We greatly apologize for the changes today and will address all questions in an updated FAQ as soon as possible. Please hold all questions and feedback until this information is available.
Additional information will be posted at philadelphia.in24race.com and on Facebook and Twitter.
With regret, concern for safety and appreciation for your support,
Back on My Feet
