Limited spectators for Cookstown 100

The meeting was scheduled for April but was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequently moved to September 11 and 12.

After discussions with various organisations, directors of CDMCC issued a statement.

‘Due to restrictions which will still be in effect at the timing of when the event is due to be held.

‘One tough decision the club has had to make is to run the event as a closed event, with restricted spectator numbers to accommodate social distancing regulations, allowing limited numbers in vantage points throughout the course.

‘The online pre-booked wristband will be available in due course.

‘We as a club would prefer to have our event run as normal, but in these trying times, we have to make various decisions and make changes for this year at least, to try and bring some road racing for the riders and spectators in 2020 all be it in limited circumstances.

‘But we will continue to work with various organisations and keep the public up to date with any decisions made.

‘Riders will be aware their entry’s (sic) for April will carry forward to September date, and for anyone else who wishes to send their entry’s (sic) in, the closing date will be July 18.

‘As a club, we will remain committed to bringing some racing in 2020, until we are told otherwise.

‘Any queries from riders please continue to contact race secretary or Kitty Harland.’
