It’s a worrying time for retailers. If times weren’t hard enough the coronavirus COVID-19 will, no doubt, have a major impact on the industry. The threat of the virus has already led to Nike and Patagonia, in the US, and Columbia, in Europe, to close stores to help prevent its spread. We have already seen major sporting events being cancelled, postponed or suspended. The fi nal weekend of the Six Nations saw no games played, elite football in England has been suspended until April 3, at the least, the 2020 Virgin Money London Marathon has been postponed until October 4, and Euro 2020 has been put back to 2021. With the postponement of the 2020 London, Brighton and Manchester Marathons, the media coverage which puts running at the forefront of customers’ minds at this time of year has disappeared.
