Almost certainly the recession has played a part in RB12&#8217;s downfall despite tens of thousands of pounds being spent on the project. Originally it was to feature 50 boats, 50 cars and 50 aeroplanes racing around Britain&#8217;s coastline. There are people who want to race, perhaps just not in 2012. The only other long distance race now on the horizon is the Cowes &#8211; Monte Carlo marathon in 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Round Britain 12 (RB12) marathon has been cancelled and is being deferred until 2014.
