Student at Fairlands Middle School in Cheddar runs half marathon for gymnastics club

While many if us took up the Couch to 5k during lockdown, one pupil at Fairlands Middle School in Cheddar took things one step further.

Student Sam tackled a half marathon - 13.1 miles - to raise money for his gymnastics club.

This feat included a 1,800ft hill climb, and is not the only exceptional achievement from this young athlete who has won many medals and become a national champion at tumbling.

A spokesperson for the school said: "We are incredibly impressed by this achievement, and know that the funds raised will go a long way to supporting his club to continue to help young people in the future.

"We look forward to seeing Sam's successes continue long into the future."
