City has a small resident population, most of whom live in the Barbican, which has strictly separated pedestrian and vehicle circulation. The hunt avoids the Barbican and the hospitals to avoid disturbing residents. The event's finishing point is normally Finsbury Circus. There is a sister event called the Londinium Pedo, which is a three-hour event taking place on foot in September or October. Both events are run by the United Hospitals and University of London Motoring Club (UHULMC). Cancelled events In 2001, the event was cancelled in recognition of the need to reduce population movement due to an outbreak of foot and mouth disease. The 2012 event was cancelled due to the difficulty of travel in London resulting from preparations for the 2012 Olympic Games. In 2020, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
