London marathon organizers host COVID-19 testing event for UK government

 


The London Marathon Event (LME) will host Reunion 10K with the aim of the UK government to collect scientific data on hosting large-scale participation events during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Held on April 24th and 25th, the event will be one of the pilots of the event study program and is planned in Hatfield Park, north of London.

It consists of three 10km races held over the weekend.

The format was designed in collaboration with the Digital, Media, Cultural and Sports Department (DCMS) and is designed to understand how large-scale participation events could go on as part of the UK roadmap, which was closed from 21 June.

LME plans to have 3,000 participants and a maximum of 3,000 spectators for each of the three races, all structured slightly differently for data purposes.

The organization hosts events in close collaboration with Public Health England, Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, Hatfield Park and other key stakeholders.

Races collect scientific data from participants, spectators, and staff that can be used to inform DCMS when planning a safe return for sports.

Everyone attending the event must undergo a COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction test before and after the event.

You will be asked if everyone has been vaccinated, but you do not have to be present.

Those who test positive before the event will not be able to participate and will be refunded if there is a fee.

“The government’s event research program is a very important step towards the safe return of the event, and the London Marathon event is dedicated to supporting the government through this project with fellow large-scale participating event organizers,” said Event Hugh Brasher. Director of LME.

“Thanks to everyone who helped prepare the Reunion 10K at Hatfield Park.”

Entries will start on April 8.

FA Cup finals set as one of the COVID-19 pilot events Getty Images

The UK government is known to be considering the introduction of a COVID-19 vaccination passport, which will limit the public from attending large events without being vaccinated.

While this does not restrict people from attending bars or restaurants or using public transport, it can prevent unvaccinated people from attending sporting events as well as nightclubs and theaters that make it difficult to keep social distancing.

In football, the FA Cup semi-final between Leicester City and Southampton could require vaccinations from attendees and could play the upcoming League Cup final between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur later this month.

These two matches and the FA Cup Final in May will also be set as a pilot event.

However, more than 70 legislators across the political spectrum opposing the introduction of vaccination passports have signed the pledge.

Those who signed the pledge were former Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn, former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith, and former Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron.

The London Marathon’s massive participation event was canceled in 2020 due to a pandemic, but elite runners competed in a bubble environment in October.

Usually the race is held in April.
