Burgess Hill Runners have been out and about running a range of distances – from a 5k right up to 54k.

First up was the Kings Head Canter 5k. Starting in Chiddingly, and ending in East Hoathley, the race is a friendly and rural road race, and this year it celebrated its 25th anniversary.

There to celebrate with them was a group of BHRs, and first up was Oliver Day who finished in 19:03. He was followed by Jamie Goodhead (20:54), Trevor Symes (22:58), William Whitehead (27:04), John Schofield (27:05), Emma Goodhead (28:12) and Kim Gow (30:33).
