Event overview

Minehead Running Club is proud to introduce our inaugural seaside race along the beach from Blue Anchor to Minehead and back along the coastal path on the day of the 2026 Blue Moon. The race is open to anyone over 18. The race also forms part of the Somerset Series. A multi-surface race of approximately 7 miles in total along the beach from Blue Anchor to Minehead, then back along the coastal path beside the West Somerset Steam Railway. The course has uneven surfaces in places, mainly along the golf course and the beach with small but smooth pebbles. The steam train sets off at 11.16 so the best of luck being there in time.

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
