Organisers of the Southern 100 have confirmed this year's event has been cancelled.

 

It was decided after discussion regarding the present and on-going situation regarding the Coronavirus crisis.

 

A consultation with the club’s Chief Medical Officer regarding the availability of Doctors and Paramedics to cover the races, many of whom travel from the UK, that it is unlikely that they will able to leave their respective positions and would have insufficient cover to run the races on the scheduled dates or any other.

 

The Doctors, Paramedics and other medical people who live on the Island will be similarly occupied at Nobles & Ramsey Cottage Hospital and other Medical practices and will like their UK counterparts will be involved with the COVID-19 cover and unlikely to be allowed to take leave.

 

It also means that the postponement of the Blackford’s Pre-TT Classic Road Races are now also cancelled.

 

Competitors who have entered will be contacted by the Race or Club Secretary in the next few days.
