Bude Cancelled

I’m really sorry to have to inform you that this years Awesome Foursome Quadrathlon has had to be cancelled.

I have had this note from organizer ‘Simon Hammond’

We have been doing our best to keep the event alive this year but for reasons that we hope to figure out, we have had just 12 entrants so far and with only 3 weeks to go the event isn’t viable. We do hope to get this event back on its feet for next year, the date would probably be Saturday 27th September. Can you spread the word – simple lack of entries is the reason for the cancellation.

If any Quadrathletes out there have any thoughts or suggestions about keeping this event going and making this it the iconic race it used to be, any comments or suggestions would be most appreciated. Simon has put together a few questions, as we all feel its very important he gets this race back on track, please email him your thoughts, he’d love to hear from you …. THANKS 

Getting the Awesome Foursome back on Track

Please email Simon on info@shorelineactivities.co.uk with any thoughts provoked by these questions, Thanks.

1. We choose an early September date in 2024, maybe it was too early. We are looking at early October dates for 2025 to re-set this as an Autumn event.
2. We are stuck with the tides and 2025 looks like any good date will be a morning start. Does this cause any problems for a Saturday event?
3. Prices this year were £52 individual, £76 pair and £102 relay team. We think these are reasonable but what do you think? Can we use a variable price scheme to encourage early entries?
4. We are going to run a shorter course event ‘The Wallaby’ at the same time which is roughly half the distance and avoids the worst cycle hills. Is this something you would be interested in?
5. We think getting fresh competitors in via Relay Teams and Pairs is a good idea but what sort of groups and clubs would you be contacting for these?

Many Thanks Simon
