A NEW date has been confirmed for the Epilepsy Action Bradford 10k, which was due to take place over the weekend but was postponed amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. 

The race will now take place on Sunday, September 6 this year.

A spokesperson for the charity said: "All places have been carried forward to the new date, and any previously deferred places have also been carried over to this date.

"If runners are available for the new date, they just need to keep hold of their race number and the charity will update them nearer the time."

Those who are unable to make the new date can either:

  • transfer their entry to the 2021 race on Sunday, March 28 2021
  • donate their entry fee to Epilepsy Action
  • request a refund for their entry fee

Before claiming a refund, the charity is asking all runners to consider the possibility of donating their entry fee to Epilepsy Action.

With 87 new cases of epilepsy diagnosed every day in the UK, the charity says support is as vital now as ever.

The spokesperson added: "The cost in postponing the event has been significant and the charity would be extremely grateful to those who are able to donate their entry fee."

All requests to defer until 2021 or claim a refund must be received by the charity no later than Monday, April 6.
