ActiveTrainingWorld and hoohaah are very experienced event organising companies who fully understand and appreciate the importance of hosting a safe event. Consumer confidence in booking events has been damaged with so many events being cancelled since March 2020 so it is imperative we continue to offer safe events and deliver a service that is beyond the expectation of the athletes.
We welcome any feedback via email after the event to info@justhappen.co.uk
Have a great race!
