The organisers of this year's Cardiff 10K run have said no refunds will be given after cancelling the event. Cardiff 10K and 2K Fun Run had been planned for September 4 but will now no longer take place, it was announced on Friday.
Those behind the popular race said delivering the event had "proven far more challenging than anticipated" due to circumstances beyond the control of organisers Front Runner Events. They added that refunds will not be offered to runners who have already paid, but that a virtual event will be held instead.
In response, runners have taken to social media to express their disappointment and demand a refund. One Twitter user said: "@Cardiff10k not happy with this at all. No real explanation and not offering refund or referral is unacceptable! I chose to register for the experience of running in Cardiff with the crowd..not a virtual race. Full refund please!!@FrontRunEvents."
