Storm Dennis postpones Stamford Striders St Valentine's 30k running race

A running race through Stamford and Rutland has been postponed by a week because of Storm Dennis.

The Stamford Striders Valentine's 30k is an annual event attracting 750 entrants and taking place on the Sunday nearest to St Valentine's Day.

It was due to be run this Sunday (February 16) starting at 11am from Stamford Welland Academy, but because of a forecast of 40mph winds for the weekend, the club has today (Friday, February 14) decided to put the event back to Sunday February 23 - a week later than planned.
