THE Great Langdale Marathon and Half-Marathon road races are all set to go-ahead as planned, says organiser Rod Berry.
"People have been ringing me from all over the country to ask if the races are still on and I can confirm they will take place," he said.
Rod says he has arranged for use of a field for parking for the two races which start from Chapel Stile on Sunday, September 30.
"It's the boost the area needs because of the foot-and-mouth and a lot of the hostel places and other accommodation are getting booked up."
