Watchet Mariner 10K

From the Esplanade Saturday 6th March 10am.

The Watchet Conservation Society, in partnership with the Minehead Running Club, is co-hosting a 10K race as part of the Somerset Series of Races. All proceeds from the event will directly support the Watchet Conservation Society.

Based at the Phoenix Centre, the race begins and ends on the Esplanade. Up to 200 runners will pass the statue of the Ancient Mariner and head up Swain Street and Anchor Street, follow the Old Mineral Line to Washford, and return along the scenic lanes over Cleeve Hill. The event is suitable for runners of all standards.
