Sleet and showers put paid to the majority of such events last weekend and with icy conditions persisting since, there has been a question mark over whether the ground would be fit for them to resume.

Hide AdA spokesman for Blackpool Park Run said on Thursday: “I have been out to check the route today, but there are areas of sheet ice on it
“I'll do a further check on Friday after it warms up a little and, if possible, decide then.”
A Lytham Park Run spokesman said: “Unfortunately we won't be able to make a decision until Friday lunchtime.
"We obviously would like Park Run to go ahead on Saturday, but need to risk assess as near to Saturday as possible.”
