-

285 athletes of all ages from across the region converged on Burnham-On-Sea on Sunday (April 23rd) for the town’s annual Spring Triathlon.

Organised by Burnham-On-Sea Swim and Sports Academy, the Super Sprint Triathlon and Junior Triathlon was held in calm, mild weather conditions.

The adult competitors completed a gruelling 250m swim, 10km bike ride and a 2.5km run while the youngsters completed a shorter course along the beach and seafront.

Martin Rogers from the Swim and Sports Academy told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We had a really good turnout today and there was some really competitive action. Our thanks go to all the athletes and marshalls for their support.”

“We would also like to thank residents and motorists for their support while several roads were temporarily closed during the event.”
