Organizers of the 10k Run Norwich race have confirmed the event has been postponed due to sweltering temperatures in Norfolk. The event, which has not been held since 2019 due to the pandemic, is drawing thousands of runners and spectators to Norwich. However, with the mercury expected to hit 25C on Sunday, the team behind Run Norwich have decided to postpone the race. It will now take place on Sunday October 23, the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation - which runs the event - has confirmed. The foundation added that with a clear amber weather warning, it would be irresponsible to urge thousands of people, including a significant number of first-time runners, to exert themselves. Dan Wynne, the Foundation's Head of Marketing and Communications, said: "While it is deeply disappointing to be postponing after so much work and anticipation, the decision was unanimous within the team after receiving information and guidance from our health and safety advisors and medical providers "We know there will be disappointments and disruptions to plans, but we hope most people will understand our decision and join us for the rescheduled race." Attorney Alison Armstrong, 40, was looking forward to the to direct the race again. "It's disappointing, but safety must be the top priority. "It's the best event in Norwich and really brings out the best in the city - both the runners and the spectators. “I was really excited to run after years of postponement. A lot of us did the virtual 10km because we wanted to support the event – it's the highlight of the racing calendar.” Alison, who has been running for six years, said the decision to postpone the event was the right one. She added: "I've run marathons in 30C heat before, so it will be a shame for the more experienced runners who are used to adapting to the conditions. “But safety is the most important thing and I would be concerned for people using this as their first run. "My disappointment is nothing compared to all the work they have to do." Follower Luke Powell would have traveled from south London for his first run at Norwich. The 33-year-old senior associate said: "It's a real shame the event has been postponed." The fact that it's being postponed has softened the blow, it won't be that bad. "The weather forecast is for very high temperatures on Sunday and running in that heat would have been a challenge." Luke, who previously worked in Norwich, added: "This is a huge event for the city - it brings so many together people to Norwich. Registration for the 2022 race will remain open for the postponed date and there will be a window for those unable to attend the postponed date to transfer their place to others.
