Certainly not the news any organiser would want to be posting but as RHL Activities boss Gareth Hockey states in his update video this morning, safety is paramount and everyone must stay home and not come to site today.

The Official announcement made by RHL Activities:

Risk to life – Wind closes whole of Beach Race site

Please do not come to site – stay indoors.

We will give you regular updates throughout the day.

And hope to give an updated race schedule which will be posted between 15.00 and 17.00 BST Today.

Please stay safe.

For further information throughout the day please visit the website on www.rhlactivities.com
