Members of North Somerset Athletics Club braved the freezing conditions to complete a 24-hour relay, raising funds towards building a specialised athletics and multi-sport venue in North Somerset.

Athletes of all ages completed hundreds of laps of Weston Grand Pier, running from noon on Saturday throughout the night until noon on Sunday.

A replica of the Olympic torch was also carried continuously for the full 24 hours.

Money raised from the event will go towards NSAC's 'Back the Track' campaign – for more information, visit www.backthetrack.co.uk.
