The Sunset Running Festival 2024

Join us on the start line for the 4th year of this summer evening running event in July 2024. You can choose from the 7km, half marathon, solo marathon, relay marathon or, NEW FOR 2024, the 6 Hour Ultra Challenge and see how many laps you can run in 6 hours!

Location and Terrain

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!

Event Format

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), Relay Marathon (min 1 lap each runner) or the 6 Hour Ultra Challenge.

Aid Stations

Water and Active Root Stations are available twice per lap. This ensures participants have access to hydration and popular energy drink, Active Root, to support their performance every 2 miles.

Course Support

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.
