At Bowgie Inn in Crantock, we’re proud to be part of the Purple Gecko Summer Sunset Half Marathon – a unique event that combines our love for the coast path with our commitment to supporting Cornwall Air Ambulance!

On Saturday 5th July 2025, runners will embark on a 13.1-mile journey starting from Perranporth Beach at 6.15pm, following the stunning north Cornwall South West Coast Path and turning around at our very own Bowgie Inn before heading back.

This twilight run offers participants the chance to experience the breathtaking views of the coast as the sun sets, making it a truly memorable event!

As the official turnaround point, we’ll be providing a checkpoint with refreshments to keep the runners energised and in good spirits. We will be open for drinks and food, offering a warm welcome to all participants and supporters. Head torches are essential for the return leg, ensuring safety as the evening draws in!

This event not only celebrates the beauty of our coastline but also supports a vital cause. Donations can be made upon entry to help fund the Cornwall Air Ambulance, an organisation that plays a crucial role in emergency response across the region.

Whether you’re participating in the run or cheering from the sidelines, we invite you to join us in celebrating the South West Coast Path and supporting a very worthy cause. For more information and to enter, visit Purple Gecko Events or email info@purplegeckoevents.co.uk.

We look forward to seeing you on the coast path on the 5th July 2025!
