Overview

You can choose from the 7km, half marathon, solo marathon or relay marathon and run together into the sunset! The course is set along a flat, tarmac, seaside promenade, offering oceanic views and potentially favourable running conditions. There are no hills or undulations which gives runners a good chance of achieving personal bests or fast times! The event is lap-based, with each lap measuring just over 4 miles. This format allows participants to choose their preferred distance. Distance options include a 7k (1 lap), Half Marathon (3 laps), Individual Marathon (6 laps), or Relay Marathon (min 1 lap each runner). Water and Active Root Stations are available at each lap. This ensures participants have access to hydration and popular energy drink, Active Root, to support their performance. Marshals will be stationed along the course to guide and assist participants. First Aiders will also be present, ensuring the safety and well-being of the runners. In addition to the main races, there's a 1KM kids race. This provides an opportunity for younger participants to join the event and experience the joy of running!

This event is part of The Sunset Running Festival.
