special: 120 brave the cold for Burnham-On-Sea's Jingle Run
More
than 120 fun runners braved sub-zero temperatures to take part
in Burnham-On-Sea's annual 'Christmas Jingle Run' this morning
(Sunday, December 20th).
Slippery
pavements caused by the wintry weather led organisers to switch
the route of the course at the last minute from The Esplanade
to the beach.
The
four-mile course began next to the town's jetty and saw the runners
wend their way along the sand past the low lighthouse to Berrow
Church and back, while the shorter children's fun run saw the
participants race to Maddock's Slade and back. Click

Organised
by Burnham Swim and Sports Academy, the race was hailed a success.
The academy's Martin Rogers told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We
had a very good turnout of runners considering the bitterly cold
weather and with each runner wearing a jingle bell or Christmas
costume, there was a real festive feel."
