Beacon to Beach
Beacon to Beach returns on 18 April 2027 as part of the West Somerset Running Festival. The event stages a linear trail route that starts on Selworthy Beacon and finishes on Minehead Beach, with event headquarters at The Adventure Centre, Warren Road, Minehead, Somerset.
The senior route is a 10.3 km point to point trail across multi terrain including technical trails, woodland paths and coastal descent to a sandy beach. A youth team relay covers the same overall distance broken into five legs with the following lengths:
- 10.3 km adult linear route
- Youth relay split into legs of 3 km, 2 km, 2 km, 2 km and 1.3 km
Entrants must register on the morning of the event and sign in to allow shuttle buses to transport runners and supervising adults to the start. Runners aged 8 to 16 must run with a supervising adult who remains in sight; 16 and 17 year olds may run the adult route with parental consent. Under 8s may not take part.
The event is cupless; participants should bring a drinking vessel. Water is provided at the event hub, relay leg areas and the finish. Trail running shoes and appropriate clothing are strongly advised. Dogs may not compete but are welcome as spectators if kept under close control.
Entry fees start at £21 for the adult 10.3 km, optional adult medal £7, youth relay team £25 including five youth medals. First aiders will be on site and along the route. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
