Fairytale Of Newquay
Newquay, United Kingdom • 13 Dec 2025
Fairy Tale Of Newquay is Purple Gecko Events’ festive coastal run along Cornwall’s North Coast, finishing at Porth Beach in Newquay. The event offers a 15-mile Long Half and a 30-mile Ultra Marathon, with canicross welcome. Runners navigate the cliff-path course using a GPS tracker and map provided at registration, and face checkpoints along the way.
Runners register at the Mermaid Inn in Newquay; ultramarathon starts at Porth Beach and the Long Half is bused to Harlyn Bay. Safety is emphasised: mandatory kit, a kit check, and checkpoints stocked with fluids and snacks. Finisher medals and top awards, with proceeds supporting the Newquay Coastguard Association.
