Determined runners brave high winds and rain to complete Race for Life route despite event’s cancellation

A HANDFUL of determined runners completed their own Race for Life route, despite today’s cancellation.

Two Race for Life events have been postponed until 2022 due to safety concerns following high winds and heavy rain in Portsmouth.

Race signs have been blown away, and the rain has made the ground unsafe.

However, this didn’t stop a few hardy fundraisers, who decided to brave the weather and complete the challenge.
