FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The 2010 Charlottesville Spring Classic Running/Walking events have been canceled.

February 26, 2010, Charlottesville, Virginia - The Charlottesville Spring Classic 5 Mile Run / 4K Walk Board of Directors has decided with great regret to cancel this year’s event scheduled for March 6th, 2010.

As most of you are aware, Charlottesville, Virginia and the entire Mid Atlantic have experienced a record snowfall this winter. The Charlottesville Spring Classic route is run primarily along the Rivanna footpath: both the race course and the start/finish location at Meade Park still remain under 3 to 4 inches of snow and ice. As the City of Charlottesville is still in the process of recovering from snow removal, road repairs as well as basic operations, it is not possible to have Meade Park and Rivanna footpath cleared in time for a safe event.

As runners, we understand your disappointment and therefore the Charlottesville Spring Classic Board of Directors has decided to roll over all entrants to 2011.

We wish you all the best with your running and we are sure you will join us as we eagerly greet the coming spring.
