More than 230 runners are set to pace around the streets of Burnham-On-Sea this weekend during the town’s annual Half Marathon.
Organisers from Burnham Harriers running club are pleased with the response to their recent appeal for entries, and say late entries will be accepted right up until the final hour before the race on Sunday morning (October 5th).
Club Secretary Brian Beale, who oversees the event, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “We’ve already had a lot of interest from local runners and a late surge this week from people wanting to sign up.”
He added: “There is still time to enter this Sunday’s run. We’ll be accepting entries right up until 10.15am on the day itself.”
The starting gun will be fired at 11am at Burnham’s BASC Ground, signalling the start of the 13-mile run.
The runners will leave the BASC ground and move along Love Lane and Queens Drive, before turning left along the A38 towards Brent Knoll and then on to East Brent, Lympsham, Wick Road and Red Road, before returning to Burnham via Berrow Road.
Entries cost £10 for UKA affiliated runners and £12 for unaffiliated competitors. More details are available from Burnham Harriers on 01934 732310.
