More than 150 runners from across the South West took part in a gruelling race from Burnham-On-Sea to the top of Brent Knoll and back on Sunday (November 29th) despite strong winds and rain.
The annual Brent Knoll Run was won by Keiran Young from Wells City Harriers in a time of 39 minutes and two seconds. Second place went to Richard Bateson from Yeovil.
The first local finisher was Matt Powell from Burnham Hariers running club in a time of 49:44.
Organiser Brian Beale from Burnham Harriers Running Club said he was pleased with how the event had gone.
“We had a very good turnout of 153 entries and 141 finishers, considering the poor weather conditions,” he said.
“Thanks go to the Burnham-On-Sea Lions, plus Alan and Margaret Pendleton and the gang who braved the elements to marshal on the top of the Knoll, and all Harriers members who made the event such a success.”
“Thanks also to BASC for the continued use of their excellent facilities.”
The Brent Knoll Run has been held for more than 20 years, having originally started as an event attached to Brent Knoll’s summer fete.
