Over eighty people took part in High Littleton's annual Cake Race, which this year was part-funded by Quartet's Bath Half Marathon Fund.

Staged on the same day as the London Marathon, the High Littleton Cake Race is a community event designed to get people in the area moving. Unlike other running events, finishers don't receive a medal at the end of the race, but rather, they get cake, which this year was supplied by High Littleton's W.I. Race Director, Sarah Bolton, said: "The Cake Race is becoming a firm favourite in the village's Spring calendar and attracts great support from our community. The event raises funds for Bo Peep Pre-School and High Littleton Church of England Primary School and appropriately features different races for toddlers, schoolchildren and adults. This year, there was a new category for teachers, too."

As well as the toddler dash, a new 2.5k race for nine to eleven-year-olds, which was won by the team from St Mary's School, Timsbury, and the main 5k race for adults was added to the line-up.

"While the races for children are lots of fun, the main Cake Race for adults presents a stern test," adds Sarah. "Starting from High Littleton Recreation Ground, the course dropped downhill to the edge of Paulton and onto Radford. However, the climb back up the hill to the finish is a lengthy one and anyone making it home will be a worthy winner of some cake."

Results from the day are as follows. Pre-School 50m won by Cameron Murray and Isabella Williams, Reception 100m won by Jayden Lambert and Becky Bolton, Year 1 400m, Sonny Harvey and Chloe Savage, Year 2 400m, Danio Page and Jessica Smart, Year 3 400m, Rory Astall-Miles, Holly Corrigon, Year 4 400m, Billy Jeffery and Isabella Lambert.

In the 2.5k race, the first boy across the finish line was James Burston and the first girl, Ella Smart. The first school team across the line was St Mary's, Timsbury, with Alfie Burton, Thomas Hobbs, Ella Smart and Archie Mallon.

In the 5k race, the first male senior was Zac Hudd, second, Jim Plunkett-Cole, third, Stephen Elvard. First female senior, Aileen Heal, second, Alison Woolley, and third, Karen Sheppard. First under-fourteen female was Molly Robson.
