A former world triathlon champion won the final 5km seafront run of the summer season on Burnham’s seafront on Thursday evening (August 21st).
Spencer Smith, pictured right, narrowly won the third race of the summer series from local runner Kevin Crenol of Burnham Harriers.
He completed the course in 16 minutes and four seconds, one second ahead of Mr Crenol, who had won the two previous races.
Over 50 runners took part in Thursday’s event, which involved a three-lap course of the Southern Esplanade.
The races were launched by the Burnham-On-Sea Swim and Sports Academy earlier this year – as previewed here by Burnham-On-Sea.com – and organiser Martin Rogers said he is very pleased with how the series has gone.
He told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We’ve had great support from local clubs and residents, with over 45 runners taking part in each race. We’re now busily preparing the winter series.”
The winter runs begin on October 2nd and more details will be available on Burnham-On-Sea.com in coming weeks.
