BNAC’s race organiser Jan Jordaan said: “When staging an event like the Rowlin National Glow Run, you have to accept that nature will always play a role.
“In the last two years, we had the best weather ever.
“The race itself was a huge success and we have received lots of compliments.
“Unfortunately, we did not get the turnout that we expected due to the storm, but our country needs the rain and whenever it comes, we must be thankful.”
