Sunset Running Festival 2025
Records, Resilience and a Runners’ High
As the Irish blessing goes, “May the wind always be at your back” – and for at least half the run, it was! The fifth Sunset Running Festival brought gusty conditions, but also plenty of sunshine, strong performances, and our largest turnout yet, with over 550 runners taking part.
From the early start of the 6-hour Ultra and Marathon, to the Kids' Race, 7K, Half Marathon, and Team Marathon, the atmosphere was brilliant throughout.
Event Highlights:
5 new course records, including a new fastest female marathon time and the furthest distance run in 6 hours – check out the results for yourself.
Runners from 11 countries, including Australia, Jordan, Kazakhstan and the USA.
Over £800 raised for Play Therapy Base, a children’s therapy charity – thank you for your donations.
24 marshals helped guide and support runners on the day.
