Following the government’s advice regarding non-essential social contact we have taken the decision to cancel The Cotswold Cross. The National Star College which kindly hosts our HQ every year is home to many disabled and vulnerable students and staff making them even more exposed to complications caused by coronavirus; this makes our decision all the easier.

Please be assured that we have deliberated for some considerable time before taking this decision and have considered the advantages of an outdoor event with little contact between riders at a time when we will all, doubtless, need some relief from social isolation. Your health and that of the College students, staff and our marshals will, however, always be our primary concern.

We met with staff from the National Star College and it was agreed that any decision regarding continuing with the event will most likely be taken out of our hands before the end of the week in any case and we hope this provides you with some certainty if nothing else.

We will, of course, be refunding entry fees shortly but please be patient whilst we establish the best method of doing this; this will take days rather than weeks. We will also be contacting those of you who bought event jerseys to offer you some options.
We would like to thank you for your continued support and please make a note in your diary for Sunday 28th March 2021 (TBC) when we will be running again.

In the meantime stay healthy, keep riding and look out for each other!
