Race director Stuart Anderson said he was pleased with the impressive turnout from Burnham Harriers Running Club, pictured below, and from across the region.

“We had a great turnout of 169 finishers with lots of local runners – Harriers and others. A big thank you goes to the Burnham Lions and Alan Pendleton and family for marshalling, and also to all the Burnham Harriers who helped with the race,” he told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

The Brent Knoll Run has been held for more than 25 years, having originally started as an event attached to Brent Knoll’s summer fete.
