WHILE the adult Roughtor Run was cancelled due to a lack of support, the junior event went ahead on Sunday, despite heavy rain.

A total of 16 runners took part — all aged up to 11 years old, with the youngest being Betty Harris aged two.

The competitors ran one and a half miles around the town before crossing the line to much deserved applause.

Camelford Town Councillor Kirsty Ferguson said: “It was torrential rain but they did really well.”
