Over
120 runners complete annual Brent Knoll Run
Over
120 runners from across the South West took part in the annual
gruelling race from Burnham-On-Sea to the top of Brent Knoll and
back on Sunday morning (November 29th).
 The
5.5 mile Brent Knoll Run has been held for more than 20 years,
having originally been started as a small race attached to the
village's summer fete.
Burnham
Harriers took over it several years ago and moved it to the winter
to make it more competitive.
Organiser
Brian Beale of Burnham Harriers told Burnham-On-Sea.com on Sunday
he was pleased with how the event had gone. "It's been slippery
under foot and the weather was not good, so we were very pleased
to get 122 runners in total," he said.
The
runners started at Burnham's BASC ground in Stoddens Road before
going cross-country over the fields to the summit of Brent Knoll
and back with a slightly different return route this year.
Sunday's
race was won by Tom Fisher of Bath, pictured above. He completed
the event in a time of 39 minutes and 51 seconds. "It was
very slippery in parts of the course, but I really enjoyed it,"
he told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
