The Stirling Scottish Marathon has indeed been cancelled. The organisers, Classic Run Events Ltd have communicated this with participants this morning and have issued the below statement.
“It is with great disappointment that Classic Run Events Ltd, the organisers of the Stirling Scottish Marathon weekend, together with Stirling Council, announce the cancellation of the events scheduled to take place on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th May 2022.
The number of entries generated for the events has been severely reduced by the global pandemic, with the events being postponed in both 2020 and 2021 due to Covid restrictions. The reduced number of entries has had a detrimental effect on the viability of the events and the resources available to deliver a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants. The organisers are committed to providing a full refund for all entrants. More details on the refund process can be found at thestirlingmarathon.co.uk
Race Director, Luke Traynor says ” I know all runners and charities entered for the event will be disappointed about this decision, and for that we apologise, but above everything else the safety and welfare of our runners is paramount. We hope your training and fundraising events will not go to waste as there are several other well established marathons and half marathons in Scotland to sign up to in 2022.”
