Storm Ingrid Cancels Dorset Coast Trail Run
26 Jan
Summary
- Dorset coast trail run cancelled due to storm damage.
- High tides and storm damage led to the Studland Bay event cancellation.
- Further unsettled weather is forecast for Dorset and the South West.
A planned 10km trail run along the Dorset coast has been cancelled. The National Trust cited significant storm damage and unusually high tides following Storm Ingrid as the reasons for cancelling the event at Studland Bay. This challenging multi-terrain run typically follows a route incorporating beach, road, gravel, and grass paths, starting and finishing at Knoll Beach. It also ventures along Ballard Down and past the iconic Old Harry Rocks. Environment Agency flood warnings remain active in Dorset due to recent heavy rainfall. The forecast indicates continued unsettled weather, with a Met Office yellow warning for rain issued for Dorset and the South West area for Monday.
The next scheduled Trust10 trail run is anticipated to take place on 22 February at 08:50 GMT, provided conditions permit. This event usually occurs on the fourth Sunday of each month between September and June. Residents are advised to stay informed about weather updates and potential flood risks.
