Athletes soak up the rain at Potch10KM

The rain did not stop the runners from enjoying every minute of the Potch10KM race on the Bult this afternoon.

The inaugural Potch10KM road race was a wet affair this afternoon (Saturday, March 21) as rain plummeted down for most of the 10km and 5km races.

The weather did not deter the runners who came in their masses to the start and finish point at the JB Marks Oval.
