10月24日，为期两天的“奥里吉纳尔山地马拉松赛”（Original Mountain Marathon）在英国湖区拉开帷幕，不料天空不作美，暴雨和大风引发洪水，1000多名参赛者被洪水围困，一名女选手还险些丧命。
据英国《每日邮报》报道，24日早些时候，警方已经告知“奥里吉纳尔山地马拉松赛”的主办方暴雨即将来临，请他们取消此次比赛。但是主办方表示约3000名参赛者已做好出发准备，于是做出比赛继续举行的决定。参赛选手共分两队，他们带着够36小时所需的食物和装备，根据比赛规则，他们不能使用全球定位系统。
当暴雨造成洪水上涨时，主办方想取消比赛已经来不及了。时速最高达90英里的大风和暴雨使当地的河水迅速决堤，甚至一些小河也都变成了急流，道路很快就被淹没。由于洪水切断了通往博罗代尔的营地，1000多人被围困在洪水和大风中。24日夜间，约1000名浑身湿透的参赛者被迫在考克茅斯的一个毛纺厂过夜，另有大约300人在霍尼斯特板岩矿（ Honister slate mine）将就了一夜。

更惊险的是，一名女参赛者被大风卷入汹涌的洪水中，英国皇家空军出动一架“海王”式直升机沿河搜寻她的下落。幸运的是，这名女选手最终被另外4名参赛者拉上了他们被困的小岛。直升机随后将她从岛上救上飞机并空运到怀特黑文镇的医院接受治疗。
主办方目前拒绝就做出继续比赛的决定发表评论。“奥里吉纳尔山地马拉松赛”的网站上说，这是该项赛事40年的历史上首次被迫取消比赛。据英国气象部门预报说，北风将带来雨雪天气，尤其是英国北部和西北部地区将有暴雨。
