Wicklow Sailing Club and the organising committee of the SSE Renewables Round Ireland 2020 race are closely monitoring the ongoing COVID-19 situation.
In a statement, published on March 27, the club said it will abide by the guidance of the government, health and other experts in relation to running the biennial race.
The statement continues: 'At the moment there are restrictions in place in Ireland until April 19th. We are aware that there is a considerable amount of planning and commitment on behalf of the participants. So, in fairness to everyone, it is our intention to make a call on whether or not to go ahead with the race towards the end of April.
Please note: should this health pandemic cause us to cancel the race all deposits and entry fees will be refunded in full.
If it is feasible to run the race safely in relation to the health of all involved we will try our very best to do so. In the meantime stay safe, stay healthy'.
