I am unable to find sourcing to verify notability for this defunct race. It happened, and there were occasional event listings but nothing approaching GNG. With no organiser that I can identify, no merger or other AtD option Star Mississippi 16:13, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Commment. The race was stopped at the start of the COVID outbreak. That does no mean that it is permanently defunct (and even if it is, that is not a valid deletion rationale Once notable, always notable). SpinningSpark 10:48, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's not. But since there's no indication it was ever notable (no GNG compliant sourcing found at all), it's an indication it won't become notable. i.e. not TOOSOON. I could have made that more clear. Star Mississippi 13:28, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence of meeting WP:GNG. Article seems to have been created by ~~CIO~~ COI account [1]. _wjemather^{please leave a message...} 13:52, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What relevance is the profession of the author? So what if they were a Chief Information Officer? Jacona (talk) 11:23, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing approaching reliable sourcing on this page. A reasonable BEFORE finds nothing except blog posts, brief race announcements, and mirrors of the page under discussion. In the last recorded race, less than 25 participated. A local fun run gets more coverage. BusterD (talk) 19:37, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
