21st May 2010, 9:35am

Mark Bentley, product manager of Lyons Seafood, has become the 'fastest prawn' to complete the Bristol 10k run in a bid to raise funds for charity.

Bentley pledged to don a prawn costume if he exceeded his personal sponsorship target of £1,000, encouraging his peers to donate over £1,500.  

He completed the race in 54 minutes 22 seconds, with proceeds going to St Peter's Hospice in Bristol and global charity Stop the Traffik.

Speaking of his achievement, Bentley said: "I'm thrilled to be the first ever prawn to run the Bristol 10k and can officially boast that I am not only the first but also the fastest.  Even better news is that the team I was running with raised almost £120,000 to support our nominated charities. It's a prawn-nomenal achievement!"
