Run-next-the-Sea: Wells Carnival 2025

Once again, Runners-next-the-Sea organised their Run-next-the Sea as part of Wells Carnival 2025.  This included a 1.3 mile ‘fun run’ for all the family, and a 5 mile competitive event for those who fancied more soft sand than usual!

A fantastic turn out of 72 runners in the ‘Fun Run’ and 52 in the ‘Competitive Run’.  We think the new online booking system worked a treat!

This year we raised funds to split between the club and MacMillan Cancer Support.  A charity very close to our heart after losing one of our own, Phil Longwell, only a few weeks back.

The weather this year, was wonderful and was a welcome change to last year.  Thanks to everyone in the club for volunteering to help make the event happen and to Black Dog Computer Services for sponsoring.

We know you loved it!  Stick it in the diary for next year!

PS: We are aware of a number of under 11s running without their grown up, as agreed when signing up.  This is for safety.
