THE upcoming Chilly Hilly race has been postponed until later in December, organisers have announced.

Originally scheduled for December 6, the ten-mile cross-country race has been moved to December 20.

­West Wight Sports and Community Centre manager, Clare Griffin, said: “With the uncertainty about Covid restrictions after the second lockdown, we were concerned about finalising the arrangements in time.”

Strict Covid-safety measures will be in place and there will be no registration ­— race numbers will be posted to runners ahead of time.

Runners who have entered but cannot take part on December 20 should e-mail events@westwight.org.uk.

Entries cannot be transferred to another person.
