With the threat of bad weather related to Hurricane Delta, the Celtic Warrior Challenge planned for Saturday at Bonita Lakes Park in Meridian has been rescheduled.

The new date is Nov. 21, event officials announced Wednesday night. 

Current registrants will transfer to the new date unless they decide to compete in the spring of 2021. Race ambassador Tammy Burkeen said in a statement that everyone involved with the challenge “did everything in our power to get the event back on the calendar ASAP.” 

“After consulting with city officials and taking consideration for the safety of our racers, CWC made the difficult decision to postpone,” Burkeen said. “The new date is scheduled for Nov. 21. We understand that this may not work out for everyone. All current registrants will transfer to the Nov. 21 date unless you defer to spring 2021.”
