MORE than 200 British runners were left damp and disappointed after their attempt to race last weekend’s Málaga Marathon was scuppered due to freak floods.
The UK contingent included James Bennett, a marathon regular from the 100 Marathon Club who has done 157 races over 26.2 miles but this is the first one he has entered that has been cancelled.
“We are in Lanzarote next week. That is guaranteed good weather,” he said.
