• St. Rocco's Colour Bubble Fun Run 2019 Cancellation and FAQ's

  27 September 2019

  The Met Office has now issued a yellow weather warning in Warrington this coming weekend. As a result of this and following several site visits to Walton Hall and Garden’s, to assess the ground, we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel the St Rocco’s Colour Bubble Run, for the health and safety of all involved. This decision was not taken lightly and we are hugely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause to all of those who were looking forward to taking part. However, the health and safety of our supporters and volunteers must come first and so given the current conditions we feel this is the best decision for all. Once again, St. Rocco’s is sorry that we cannot bring this year’s event to you and thank you for your patience, understanding and ongoing support. Below you can view some FAQ's regarding the cancellation and some information on the next steps St. Rocco's will be taking.
