The event was won in a fast time of 1:11:06 by Jack Chitty of Cheddar. He is pictured above with second placed Andy Raynor from the Forest of Dean in 1:11:53 and third finisher Rob Stewart from Bristol in 1:12:46. Read the full results here.
The first local finisher was Luke Burnett in 1:20:58 and the first Burnham Harriers finisher was James Body in 1:22:57. Alice Smith was the first lady finisher in a time of 1:25:57.
Winner Jack told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “It was a great running conditions – the weather was cool and stayed dry for the whole of my run. It’s a great course.”
A race spokesman from Burnham Harriers said the event had gone well and added: “Our thanks go to all the runners, plus our wonderful marshalls and volunteers for their time. Thanks also to the Burnham-On-Sea Harriers team who helped organise the event.”
Meanwhile, ‘joggler’ Scott Jenkins successfully completed the run while juggling several balls along the whole route!
