A Sunday run at the seaside

A Sunday run at the seaside

We’re hoping for a fine day this Sunday as we’re sponsoring the Bridlington Half Marathon. It’s the first time we’ve sponsored an event like this so we’re very excited, we’ve even been trying out our banners for size on a rather windy Bridlington sea front (as you’ll see from our piccie!).

The event has taken place annually since 1983 and is now organised by the Bridlington Road Runners.

Bridlington Half Marathon 2013

You may remember that Becky, one of the Bannisters’ Farm team, is a keen runner so we’ll be cheering her on, as well as the 600 plus others taking part.

Last year’s event was won by Romanian Olympic athlete Marius Lonescu, who finished in 1:10:01, almost four and a half minutes ahead of his nearest challenger!

If you’re in the area, the race begins on Bridlington sea front at 10am heading though Sewerby and along the stunning Flamborough Head Heritage Coastline as far as Bempton, before finishing back on Bridlington sea front.

We’d like to say a big “Good luck!” to everyone taking part.
