CREWKERNE played host to 5k and 10k runs recently, organised by the Crewkerne running club.

Hundreds of fundraisers took part, including teams from local businesses.

The Business Challenge invited teams of three to compete in the fun run for the business challenge trophy.

Three of the teams were made up of staff from Stokes Partners LLP, which also sponsor the event.

Business entries also included teams from Moore Scarrott, Chalmers, Cetsat, Milsted Langdon and Lawrences Fine Art Auctioneers.

Yeovil based IT service provider Cetsat won the team challenge, with Moore Scarrott Accountants from Taunton in a very close second.

The event was held to raise money for St Margaret’s Hospice.

Stokes Partners LLP raised an additional £236.60 for the charity by hosting a cakes and refreshments stall, before and after the event.

The event is the ninth race in the Somerset race series.
