The National Trust called off Sunday's Trust10 run due to high tide conditions and damage from the storm

A trail run on the Dorset coast has been cancelled due to high tides and damage along sections of the route following Storm Ingrid.

The National Trust said it had made the decision to call off the 10km trail run at Studland Bay on Sunday due to "significantly high tides and storm damage".

Described by the trust as "a challenging multi terrain run", the Trust10 trail run covers beach, road, gravel and grass paths. It starts and finishes at Knoll Beach, going along Ballard Down, past Old Harry Rocks, and back down again.

Held on the fourth Sunday of the month from September to June, the next trail run is expected to take place on 22 February at 08:50 GMT.

Several Environment Agency (EA) flood warnings remain in place in Dorset following heavy rainfall.

Further unsettled weather is forecast with a yellow warning for rain issued by the Met Office for Dorset and the South West area on Monday from 15:00.
