Three-legged race record attempt cancelled due to lack of interest

An attempt to smash the world record for the world's biggest three-legged race has been cancelled.

Southern Nomads Rugby Club had planned to hold the event on Sunday, September 7 to raise cash for its SportErin charity and Isle Listen.

However, on Facebook it says it's been forced to call off the race at Ballakilley Park in Port Erin because of a lack of interest.

But the club says it's still holding a junior training session from 2pm on the day.
