A reduced field of runners took part in The Grizzly in Seaton as the wintry weather returned to East Devon.

With heavy snow forecast, organisers took the decision to reduce the route to a 10-mile course.

In a posting on Facebook from the organisers on Saturday it said:”After careful consideration of the current and forecasted adverse weather conditions and discussions with those providing our essential safety services we have taken the difficult decision that there will be NO full (20m) Grizzly run tomorrow. There will however be a modified (10m) CUB route tomorrow and all runners will be able to take part in the CUB route. This decision has not been taken lightly but we have the safety and wellbeing of our runners, spectators and marshals as our prime consideration.”

A number of competitors had to pull out of the event on Sunday, with the difficult road conditions preventing them from attending.

Herald photographer Terry Ife did get along to picture the event.
