A new date for the school West Coast Olympics event has been released.

The event, due to take place today at Workington Town's Zebra Claims Stadium, was postponed due to the weather on Tuesday.

Around 3,500 children from all the schools in the West Coast Teaching Alliance were due to converge on Workington Town's Zebra Claims Stadium in a festival of sport.

It will now take place on September 29.

This is the second school Olympics event for local schools, with the previous one held four years ago in conjunction with London 2012.

The raffle is set to still go ahead.
