Join us for a fun and friendly evening run by the sea, part of the Wells Carnival celebrations! The Run-next-the-Sea offers two scenic routes through the Pinewoods and along the beach, finishing near the iconic Lifeboat Station. Whether you’re up for the full 5 miles or just fancy the 1.3 mile Fun Run, all finishers will receive a commemorative memento.
This year’s event supports East of England Ambulance Service Charity (Reg Charity No. 1047987) and Runners-next-the-Sea and is generously sponsored by MVWH.co.uk
