When I originally organised the Virtual Summer Handicap, I hoped that we could perhaps have held an actual Autumn handicap in mid September. For obvious reasons, this can’t happen, so I have decided to extend the Virtual Summer Handicap to the end of this month. We will then hold the Autumn handicap from October to the end of November. This will give those people who haven’t yet been able to run the summer handicap the chance to complete the challenge. Of course, those who have already run can have another go if they want to try to improve their times! The results will be announced at the beginning of October. Good luck everyone!
