Dear Runners,
After consultations with all relevant stakeholders and Government authorities, it is with deep regret that we have to
cancel the Butterworth Run 2020 due to the uncertainties brought about by the still developing Covid-19
pandemic. The government has stated that even after the dissolution of the MCO, events involving the public still
cannot be approved. This will last for a minimum of 6 months and a maximum of 1 year. The health and safety of our
runners, working crew and volunteers, along with spectators and fans will always be our top priority and never
compromised.
All registrations will be automatically deferred to Butterworth Run 2021, which is scheduled to take place on a
similar time period as this year, which is after Raya Aidilfitri 2021, pending confirmation from the venue city council.
We understand that this is not an ideal situation and will therefore allow you to transfer your registration should you
not be able to make next year’s event and no refund for this matter. We will inform you of the mechanics of this
process in the second half of 2020. Similarly, all your race entitlements will also be deferred to Butterworth Run
2021
This was an extremely difficult decision to make as we know that BUTTERWORTH RUN has become an event that
runners look forward to every year but this is an unprecedented situation that we face, requiring a similarly
unprecedented response. Thank you to all of our runners, volunteers and fans for your support and understanding
at this time. We realise that there will be many questions with regards to the cancellation in the coming days, but we
hope that everyone could understanding of this situation.
We implore everyone who is a part of the BUTTERWORTH RUN family, and the wider national and global community
to do their respective parts in combating the CORONAVIRUS. Stay safe, and together we will all run again!
Regard,
My Major Event Management
