KING OF THE MOUNTAIN RAINED OUT
The King of the Mountain fun run at Camden Haven was postponed on Sunday morning due to heavy rain and lightning.
Hundreds of runners were expected to take part in the event, that raises funds for the Camden Haven Surf Club, and Cystic Fibrosis.
The decision met with a backlash from some competitors, however organisers maintain safety was paramount.
“We have a lot of young people, a lot of families in the event, a lot of people pushing strollers – the decision was made that it was just too dangerous to send people up there.”
The event is now expected to take place later this month.
