After much deliberation, it is with regret that we have decided to cancel the Bicton XC Duathlon 2017.
The reason for cancellation is due a licensing issue with the landowner of Woodbury Common. Despite applying for the same license as used in 2016 back in March this year, we have been asked to supply an additional insurance requirement that we have been unable to resolve despite our best efforts. The landowner only informed us of this requirement recently, and as we are so close to the event date we couldn't take the risk of delaying the decision any longer.
As this cancellation is due to a local issue regarding land use of the Woodbury Common, it is in no way connected to our other event, the Killerton Duathlon, which will fully intend to run next year in 2018.
Thank you for interest in the event, obviously we are hugely disappointed we have to take this decision.
