Newport half marathon cancelled again due to weather warning
Runners looking to compete in the Newport half marathon have been disappointed again after organisers announced it was cancelled due to weather warnings.
The race had to be cancelled just over two weeks again when the cold blast and snow caused by the 'Beast from the East' hit South Wales.
In a statement, organisers apologised but said that safety was paramount.
Competitors have already taken to social media to express their disappointment - with one commenting "Such a shame, happy to donate entry fee too if it doesn’t happen on another date. Organisers have been fab ".
A date for when the race will be re-schedule has not yet been released.
