Some of the emails have gone out but we do seem to be having a problem getting some of them out but for information purposes, below is a text of the email being sent to all entrants:
"Hello all,
Obviously, you'll all by now have received the latest instructions from the AUK board that AUK events of any kind won't be resuming before 01 August 2020. As a consequence, we all now have to accept that there'll be no LEJOG AUDAX this year and I've not really much option other than to postpone the event until 2021. I'm also planning on running the event in 2022. In all honesty it seems that it was only a matter of time. This is a great shame as I was really looking forward to it and I know a lot of you will also be disappointed as many of you have been training exceptionally hard however, we also have to accept that these are exceptional circumstances totally beyond our control and none of which could possibly have been foreseen when the event was first created. I'm particularly concerned for our overseas riders who might have incurred a heavy financial burden whilst arranging flights etc and might have had to self-isolate following arrival in the UK. Fortunately, many of the international airline carriers are offering credits/refunds etc.
I'm hoping, with everyone's cooperation, that all of you will be able to make either the 2021/2022 edition and the dates for 2021 have been provisionally set for 18-23 July 2021. This might seem unusual but with thousands of pounds already spent on the LEJOG event I don't want the event left in a negative financial situation, particularly as the circumstances are exceptional and couldn't have been forseen.
I'll be emailing again in a couple of weeks time with further news. I'm sorry it's turned out like this for everybody this year but the circumstances are obviously exceptional and completely out of everybody's control. I was hoping that the situation would improve throughout the Spring in time for the LEJOG to go ahead as planned in late July but it isn't to be this time.
I hope that you and your families stay safe and do take care for now in these difficult times for what has been a miserable season for seasoned randonneurs.

LEJOG AUDAX "
Adding to that, considering that with all the AUK Spring events cancelled I doubt whether most riders would have been in condition anyway.
