GST Team, trading under the event organiser name Kilo To Go, has ceased to trade; and, as a result, no 2016 events will be delivered.
The company, which for a number of years has organised a number of popular sportives/Gran Fondos, ceased to trade due to insolvency – and it has been placed in voluntary liquidation.
Within the next seven days, a letter will be sent to all riders who have booked places on events for 2016. All events previously advertised as being organised are cancelled with immediate effect and will not take place. These are specifically:
- Cornwall Tor Sun 1 May 2016
- Tour of the Peak Sun 15 May 2016
- Motion in Mercia Sun 29 May 2016
- Cheshire Cat Sun 19 June 2016
- Flatout in the Fens Sun 3 July 2016
- Shropshire Mynd Sun 18 September 2016
- The Rut Sun 2 October 2016
An open letter on the Kilo To Go website notes that:
- Riders who have booked a place and paid an entrance fee in advance cannot (under current insolvency legislation) be refunded for that entrance fee by the company due to it being insolvent.
- If a rider has paid an entrance fee by credit card, they should in the first instance contact their credit card provider to see if that provider will consider a claim for a refund of the fee paid.
- In all other instances where a rider has paid a fee other than by credit card or cannot claim a refund from a credit card provider, the rider will have an unsecured claim against GST Team Limited for the fee paid. Further details on how to make a claim will be in the letter to be sent to all registered athletes.
