He said: "A big thank you goes to the Burnham Lions for marshalling the event, and the great job done by the Huntspill and Highbridge Scouts for handing out the much-needed water around the course and organising the car parking.
"Thanks also to the Burnham-On-Sea Harriers who helped organise and run the event, which was a great success."
