I am less optimistic. I say all large scale organised events for the next 6 to 9 months will probably not be held. All these events (sporting or otherwise) being pushed to the '2nd half' are probably making the same assumption about COVID-19 that is probably going to be wide off the mark. The expectation that like SARS it will just died off, or with the onset of the summer, the virus will be less contiguous etc. Increasingly, if any meaningful comparison is to be made, it is the Spanish Flu which lasted from January 1918 to December 1920 (a full 3 years!) Perhaps, with our current level of medical technology, we can develop a vaccine faster but looking at the outbreak numbers, expecting things to be back to normal by the 2nd half of the year is unrealistic. The economic impact of the virus will also probably last for several years. Race participation is a discretionary expense. In the immediate aftermath, even if races are organised, many may not join if the race fee is what it has been for the last 3 to 4 years. It's hard to justify paying $50 for a 10K race or $80 for a HM when you have other concerns. -
Thank you @kohpapa. Doing that social media thing where read and share and understand opinions....will stop. Think I should go do some work @AutumnRunner runners have been doing that in the UK. Quite a few have substantial gardens to do so. -

Saw a few posts overseas about running around their garden, or house... and even on the balcony... it's really not easy, can imagine the kind of mental torture when they are deprived of running due to lockdown... -

Yup... maybe I should add the word "exceptionally cluttered"... and i got a feel that the races will be more overwhelmed than before... cause runners feel the deprived need to race...
