If you’re planning your Ventnor carnival events, don’t forget that Monday night sees the first ever seafront team relay race event.
Teams of ten runners from across the island have been invited to a relay race that will be held on the seafront, between Ventnor Skateboard Park and Bonchurch.
Five members from each team will start at either end of the 1.24 km / 0.77 mile promenade course. Each team will carry a traditional wooden baton that will be relayed between all team members until the last person arrives back at the skateboard park.
Teams will muster at the skateboard park by 6.30pm. The race begins at 7pm.
Prizes will be awarded to the fastest male and female teams, sports club and pub teams, and U16 team.
If you’re not taking part, do go along to cheer on the teams.
