IMPORTANT INFORMATION !!!!!
TONIGHT'S RUN IS CANCELLED DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS.
I have walked around the streets of Macclesfield this afternoon and the pavements, and some roads, are very slippery and there are ice patches still visible in parts. The temperature is set to drop to minus 6 degrees at 6pm which will make the conditions even more hazardous. We are sorry to disappoint those of you who were hoping to run this evening but your safety is our primary concern.
