During March 2025, Carn Runners embraced the spirit of community and adventure through a series of social runs across Cornwall’s picturesque landscapes.
An Res Helly 10-Mile Recce and Portreath Tram Track Exploration
On Saturday 22nd March, members gathered for a recce of the upcoming An Res Helly 10-Mile race, familiarising themselves with the course’s nuances. On the Sunday, runners explored the historic Portreath Tram Track, covering various distances along this scenic route. The favourable weather enhanced the experience, culminating in a supportive visit to the Tideline Café, owned by fellow Carn runner Linda Carter.
Notable Achievement
A special commendation to Bex Martin for completing her first-ever 20-mile run—a testament to her dedication and endurance. Congratulations, Bex! 💪
Sunday Social Run: Porthtowan to St Agnes
Sunday 30th March featured a challenging yet rewarding 8.5-mile run from Porthtowan to St Agnes. Runners navigated the undulating coastal path, renowned for its breathtaking views and historical landmarks, including the iconic Wheal Coates tin mine. The effort was sweetened by Ali’s homemade flapjacks, providing a delightful treat that energised the group.
Gratitude and Community Spirit
Heartfelt thanks to all participants for contributing to a weekend filled with camaraderie, scenic beauty, and personal achievements. These gatherings exemplify the supportive and adventurous spirit of Carn Runners, fostering connections and encouraging each member to reach new heights.
